“DON’T DARE CALL THEM PROTESTERS,” said our soon-to-be-president, Joe Biden. “They were a riotous mob. Insurrectionists. Domestic terrorists. It’s that basic. It’s that simple,” he said as he announced his plan to make a priority of passing a law against domestic terrorism.
So, the man from Delaware, who seemingly slept through the domestic terrorism that resulted in some $2 billion in damages to Portland, Seattle, Minneapolis and Kenosha, while leftists, some representing Black Lives Matter and Antifa, were permitted to riot, burn and loot, has had an epiphany. He was even silent on terrorism in all those cities during his convention speech.
Domestic terrorism is defined as dangerous and illegal acts intended to coerce a population or influence the government, including that of a city or state, where Democrat authorities failed to take action against the perpetrators.
ALL TALK AND NO ACTION was President Trump’s frequent criticism of Democrats, and it was the Democrat-controlled House Judiciary Committee that allowed a bill curbing mob violence to die in committee last year.
The bill, sponsored by Republican Rep. Ken Buck in November known as the BRICKS Act, for Blocking Rioters and Insurrectionists from our Cities to Keep us Safe, would have enabled a greater range of legal penalties for such crimes. A similar bill by Utah’s Republican Sen. Mike Lee surfaced after an unarmed Utah man was murdered by a mob of left-wing activists. At least 30 people, ranging in age from 14 to 77 were killed in the summer of 2020 riots. Democrats also blocked it.
YOU MAY NOT HEARD of Susan Rosenberg, a convicted terrorist once sentenced to 58 years for explosives possession, who had her sentence commuted in 2001 by former president Bill Clinton.
It was recently discovered that she sat on the board as vice chair of Thousand Currents, which had poured some $10 million into social change initiatives, including the Marxist inspired Black Lives Matter movement, the domestic terrorism organization shielded by the Democrats.
Rosenberg once wrote that she “believed that our government ruled the world by force and that it was necessary to oppose it with force.”
THE VENDETTA AGENDA is House Speaker Nancy Pelosi‘s sick intention to file articles of impeachment against President Trump after her plan to force Vice President Pence to initiate a 25th Amendment succession process to have the president removed failed. Pence earlier indicated that he would not participate in any effort to replace the president via the 25th Amendment.
Clearly, it is a politically motivated stunt by Pelosi and her minions that will only serve to further fracture our nation instead of bringing us together.
John Kelly, former chief of staff to President Trump, disgustingly said that he would support the president’s removal by the 25th Amendment if he were still a member of the cabinet.
If that sounds familiar, you may recall there was an effort early in the president’s term when discussion of the 25th Amendment surfaced with the involvement of FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe.
THOSE REPUBLICANS who are suggesting that someone needs to tell President Trump that he has lost party support and needs to resign, as was done with President Nixon in 1974, better think long and hard before taking such action. There are some 75 million Americans who will not take this lightly.
They might start by reading not only about the bitter conflict within the House and Senate it fomented, but their constituents, who still supported Nixon. Near the end, Arizonans Barry Goldwater and John Rhodes, along with Pennsylvania’s Hugh Scott, records show, visited with Nixon to inform him that he no longer had support.
President Trump is a fighter. He would never agree to resign, especially considering Pelosi’s weak, fabricated charges of insurrection and inciting violence.
May God continue to bless the United States of America.
