By now, you must have noticed that the left is diverting its scare tactics over climate change, systemic racism and the viruses to make you believe there’s a new threat.  We are in danger of losing our democracy and we need to fear domestic terrorism.

During his Summit for Democracy last month, President Biden referred to the struggle as “the defining challenge of our time,” noting that democracy was in retreat in the U.S.”

Biden used an outlandish statement that January 6, 2021 rioters “held a dagger to the throat of America and American democracy“ during his one-year anniversary of the breaching of the Capitol building, to muster support for the federalization of voting.

Then, while speaking in Atlanta Tuesday, Biden noted that the rioters failed, “but democracy’s victory was not certain.  Nor is democracy’s future,” choosing to speak from the grounds of Morehouse College and Clark Atlanta University, two all-black institutions.

On Wednesday, in a powerful take down of President Biden on the Senate floor, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said, “I’ve known, liked and personally respected Joe Biden for many years.  The President’s rant … rant … yesterday was incoherent, incorrect and beneath the office.”

I hope you will read the entire transcript of McConnell’s remarks, published in a kramerontheright special edition.

Also pressing for voter reform, Vice President Harris warned that “if we stand idly by, our entire nation will pay the price for generations to come,” asserting that “Americans could face dire consequences.”

Although the majority of Americans, including Democrats, favor voter ID, the left’s leadership continues to refer to it as a means of voter suppression.

You need to be concerned …

The voter reform bill isn’t going anywhere, but you need to be concerned how Biden & Company is falsely claiming we are in danger of losing our democracy and free and fair elections, as his warnings of extremism and domestic terrorism mount.

“With the Biden administration’s political woes intensifying in an election year, the identification of the domestic opposition as a seditious enemy may be their last, best hope of salvaging something,” commented Gerard Baker of the Wall Steet Journal

In Biden’s partisan mind, opposing the voting reform bill makes you guilty of voter suppression, and possibly qualifying you as an extremist.

It began after the January 6, 2021 event at the Capitol building, with a paranoia over white supremacy. Learning that “dozens of current and former service members attended” lead to a reckoning at the Pentagon over extremism in the ranks, and the issuance of guideline to root out extremism in the military.

“What if the military leaders who have been steeping themselves in the modern-day canon of progressive thought saw the threat of white supremacist ideology, domestic far right extremism and the revanchism of the Trumpists as the principal clear and present danger to national security?” suggested Baker.

In October, at the behest of the National School Boards Association, the Justice Department announced it would be investigating parents who protested at school board meetings, comparing them to domestic terrorists in an e-mail exchange.

Speaking the day before the one-year anniversary of the January 6, 2021 protest, Attorney General Merrick Garland pledged to “hold to account those involved at any level, whether they were present during the melee or not,” and referred to DOJ’s inquiry as the “largest, most complex and most resource-intensive” probe in the department’s history.

Then, on Tuesday, during an appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Matthew G. Olsen, head of the Justice Department’s National Security Division, announced the formation of a new domestic terrorism unit to “help combat a threat that has intensified dramatically.”

At that same hearing, the executive assistant director of the FBI’s national security branch, Jill Sanborn, refused to acknowledge the presence of plainclothes informants among the January 6, 2021 protestors.

Adding fuel to the fire, the University of Chicago invited the disgraced former deputy FBI director, Andrew McCabe, to join a panel “to discuss the Jan. 6 insurrection.”

While that academic audience was rather small, his comments there were brought to light in a Chicago Thinker piece by Evita Duffy republished by The Federalist.

During his appearance, she said McCabe likened the radicalization of the Islamic Caliphate to the “mass radicalization” of the political right.

He considers parents who speak up at school board meetings very dangerous, saying that holding them accountable is not enough. He wants federal agencies to put out a message that “this sort of conduct that both horribly victimizes individuals, but also serves to undermine our democratic process is considered a threat to national security and not tolerated.”

Seemingly referring to the Justice Department’s new domestic threat unit, he called for more surveillance of conservatives, the power to spy on and punish extremists, with federal penalties against domestic terrorism.

No doubt, there are bad actors out there, on the left and right, but the narrative coming from the Biden administration infers that Trump supporters (the deplorables) are extremists with intentions to commit domestic terrorism.

Now, more than ever … may God continue to bless the United States of America.
