Daily Broadside | China Floats a Trial (Spy) Balloon Over the Continental U.S.

If Trump was in the White House, as he should be, this wouldn’t have happened.

Pentagon Tracking Suspected Chinese Spy Balloon Over Northern US

The U.S. military is currently tracking a suspected Chinese spy balloon over Montana, according to a senior Pentagon official.

“The United States Government has detected and is tracking a high altitude surveillance balloon that is over the continental United States right now,” said Pentagon Press Secretary Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder in a Feb. 2 statement.

A senior defense official told reporters the Pentagon has a “very high confidence” that the balloon comes from China.

The high-altitude surveillance balloon allegedly floated over the Aleutian islands and Canada before crossing over the airspace of Montana, according to an NBC report that cited three unnamed government officials.

That the Chinese feel free to violate our airspace with impunity is very telling. They aren’t being very stealthy and don’t expect that a large balloon would escape our notice with all of our surveillance capabilities.

This is a deliberate provocation to test our response.

Of course, it also raises the question of whether they feel free to be so bold because they’ve got Brandon by the shorthairs, so if he retaliated, they’d release damning information about his grift with them? Not that we need any more evidence of his corruption involving the Chinese. Just how deep it runs is the real question.

Kevin McCarthy brings the pressure. “China’s brazen disregard for U.S. sovereignty is a destabilizing action that must be addressed, and President Biden cannot be silent. I am requesting a Gang of Eight briefing.”

I suppose a briefing is appropriate, but why would we even hesitate to bring that sucker down? Bring it down, confirm whose it is, then call their ambassador in and read them the riot act. We are a sovereign nation and the incursion is a violation of that sovereignty.

Who are we afraid of offending? It’s the government’s job to protect its citizens from foreign threats. But they’d rather chase paper tigers like all the white supremacists who are the greatest terror threat we face.

We’ve often had to intercept Russian aircraft off the coast of Alaska and few times off the coast of California. Here’s one from 2006, one from 2014, one from 2015, one from 2019, one from 2020, the 14th time from 2020, and one from 2022.

But none of them were over the continental United States. The only time that happens is when it’s a part of “the Open Skies Treaty––a 17-year-old program that permits many countries, including Russia and the U.S., to send surveillance flights over each other’s territories each year.“

So far, all we know is that the Pentagon has engaged the PRC through several channels, including the Chinese Embassy in the U.S. and the U.S. Embassy in China.

As The Epoch Times also reports,

Experts have warned with increasing frequency that the CCP is preparing its military for a war to seize Taiwan that would likely draw it into conflict with the United States. As such U.S. officials have said that the regime is studying the United States’ military capabilities and building technologies with the explicit purpose of overcoming them.

I suppose we could take it down with ground-to-air missiles, but maybe that would give the Chinese government what they want. Probably dangerous for civilians along the balloon’s path, too.

Whatever the reason it’s there and we’re not taking it out, the incursion is unsettling to me and I’m not happy with our government’s response.

Have a good weekend.

Daily Broadside | The G.O.A.T Retires, for Real This Time

Tom Brady announced his retirement yesterday, one year after he announced his retirement the first time. In the intervening year, he lost his marriage to supermodel Gisele Bündchen and had his first losing season as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ quarterback, walking off the field for the last time with an 8-9 record after losing to the Dallas Cowboys 31-14 in a first-round playoff game.

Losing is not something Tom Brady is used to.

Brady is greatly admired for his commitment to and longevity in the NFL, with 23 seasons, 35 wins out of 48 postseason appearances, and seven Super Bowl victories in ten appearances—more than any single NFL franchise owns. According to Buccaneers.com, Brady also ranks first in:

  • Wins: 251
  • Pro Bowls: 15
  • Super Bowl MVP Awards: 5
  • Completions: 7,753
  • Attempts: 12,050
  • Passing Yards: 89,214
  • Passing Touchdowns: 649

… and in the postseason, he leads in:

  • Appearances (season): 20
  • Games Started: 48
  • Wins: 35
  • Super Bowl Appearances: 10
  • Super Bowl Wins: 7
  • Completions: 1,200
  • Passing Yards: 13,400
  • Passing Touchdowns: 88
  • Game-Winning Drives: 14
  • Fourth-Quarter Comebacks: 9

The man was chosen in the sixth round at #199 by the New England Patriots in the 2000 NFL Draft. He looked and ran terrible at the NFL Combine. Yet, he turns out to be the most prolific passer in NFL history with over 100,000 yards in combined regular season and postseason, and he did it over 23 years in a league where the average “career” for a player is 3.3 years and the average for a quarterback is 4.4 years. The sport is that demanding.

Also, did you know that he was selected by the Montreal Expos in the 18th round of the 1995 Major League Baseball Draft?

And if all that weren’t enough, he signed a ten-year $375 million dollar contract to be in the Fox broadcast booth for top NFL games when he’s ready.

The man has had it all, with more to come. The G.O.A.T., handsome, married to a phenomenally successful model, three kids and a shoo-in for the NFL Hall of Fame.

And he had all that before the start of his last season. I can’t help but squirm when I think that he put football ahead of his marriage and family, and all for what, exactly? Another 4,000 yards passing? Another 490 completions? Another 25 touchdown passes? A losing season? A traumatized psyche?

Well, woo-hoo.

It just seems incredibly myopic.

But I don’t know TB12 or his family or what led to the divorce, although the press seems to think it was that Brady unretired last year and Gisele had finally had enough. It was tragic, I thought at the time, and still think that today. He had a life that looked, from an outsider’s view, “perfect.”

If he and she had a relationship with Christ, maybe it would be different. Marriage is difficult but we’re told:

To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband. But if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife. (1 Corinthians 7:10-11)

I have no personal investment in Brady’s life, but I’d love to see a reconciliation with Gisele and their kids.

For Tom’s sake, and for theirs.

Daily Broadside | Nebraska Senator: Vacation Bible Schools Are as Perverted as Drag Queen Shows. Just Kidding!

Happy February!

I was at a church business meeting recently and one of the elders warned the congregation that we needed to prepare ourselves for persecution. He didn’t say so with any drama or flair; just a candid observation of where things are headed in our culture and the inevitable destination our trajectory is leading towards.

I’ve been warning for some time that Christians will be in the crosshairs, eventually, and we’re even beginning to see some of it appear here and there. While it isn’t Nero lighting his garden parties with the bodies of burning Christians (yet), one doesn’t have to be a prophet to understand where these things lead.

‘Anti-religious bigotry’: Nebraska Dem’s amdt. would ban kids from vacation Bible schools, church youth groups

A Democratic lawmaker in Nebraska is being accused of “anti-religious bigotry” by Republicans after she proposed to ban children from attending church youth groups or vacation Bible schools.

State Sen. Megan Hunt says her amendment, which would ban children under 19 years of age from attending a “religious indoctrination camp,” is intended to kill the underlying bill, LB 371, a measure put forward by Republicans to ban minors from attending drag performances. The text of the amendment asserts there is a “well-documented history of indoctrination and sexual abuse perpetrated by religious leaders and clergy people upon children.”

Equating a drag show with vacation bible school? This is classic mid-brain progressivism comparing apples to oranges because of superficial similarities, e.g. they both grow on a tree. What it really underscores is the two different worldviews at work. One, that we are to honor and obey the transcendent God, versus the other, that we are to live out our most depraved lunacies—and teach our kids to do the same.

Here’s what her amendment is trying to whitewash:

But, thank goodness, the illustrious senator tells us not to worry.

“This is an amendment that I will use to make a point,” Hunt told Fox News Digital. “This amendment obviously won’t pass, and I would withdraw it if it had the votes to pass. It’s a device to make a point, so there is no need to worry.”

Thankfully I already have the assurance that I don’t have to worry.

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. — Philippians 4:6

However, senator, you obviously aren’t thinking long-term and wouldn’t care if you were. You’ve just planted seeds that others will see and copy. You’ve just denigrated without cause the foundation of Western law and society. You’ve added to the subtle but growing web of oppression directed at Christians.

Now do Muslims, senator.

Daily Broadside | Another Letter to the Corinthians

One of the things I mentioned yesterday is that I have spent a lot of time, especially in the last couple of weeks, preparing for a class that I’m teaching at my church. The class is Bible Basics.

For some people the Bible can be an intimidating book. It’s big, it’s old, and it claims to be God’s Holy Word. That leads some to think they have to have an advanced degree to understand it. But the Bible was written in the common language of the times it records, so that the average person could read and understand it.

The idea is to give participants an overview of what the Bible is, how it was put together, the types of literature it contains, and how to read, understand and navigate it for themselves.

During my research I learned something that I don’t think was ever covered in my MDiv. classes. What is particularly amazing is that in this digital age, you don’t necessarily need to depend on an assigned book or a seminary class — it’s easy to discover resources about almost anything you want to know with the click of a mouse.

I was researching how the biblical canon came to be and learned that in about AD 95, Clement, the bishop of Rome, wrote what we know as the Letter to the Corinthians, or the First Epistle of Clement, to the church at Corinth. Although his name does not appear in the letter, long-standing tradition attributes the work to him, and the letter is one of the earliest extant writings we have of the attitude and structure of the very early church.

Clement was a disciple of the apostle Peter and most likely knew Paul, as both apostles are credited with establishing the church at Rome. He was the first “Apostolic Father” of the church—a title given to Christian leaders who personally knew the apostles.

In his letter, Clement is addressing an event in which younger members of the congregation had deposed certain elders from the ministry. Clement references at least 150 scriptural passages, both from the Old Testament and from the New Testament, and early on focuses on Peter’s and Paul’s martyrdoms as apostles.

But not to dwell upon ancient examples, let us come to the most recent spiritual heroes. Let us take the noble examples furnished in our own generation. Through envy and jealousy the greatest and most righteous pillars [of the church] have been persecuted and put to death. Let us set before our eyes the illustrious apostles. Peter, through unrighteous envy, endured not one or two, but numerous labours; and when he had at length suffered martyrdom, departed to the place of glory due to him. Owing to envy, Paul also obtained the reward of patient endurance, after being seven times thrown into captivity, compelled to flee, and stoned. After preaching both in the east and west, he gained the illustrious reputation due to his faith, having taught righteousness to the whole world, and come to the extreme limit of the west, and suffered martyrdom under the prefects. Thus was he removed from the world, and went into the holy place, having proved himself a striking example of patience.

He also makes a pointed reference to Paul’s first letter to the church at Corinth.

Take up the epistle of the blessed Apostle Paul. What did he write to you at the time when the gospel first began to be preached? Truly, under the inspiration of the Spirit, he wrote to you concerning himself, and Cephas, and Apollos, because even then parties had been formed among you. But that inclination for one above another entailed less guilt upon you, inasmuch as your partialities were then shown towards apostles, already of high reputation, and towards a man whom they had approved. But now reflect who those are that have perverted you, and lessened the renown of your far-famed brotherly love. It is disgraceful, beloved, yea, highly disgraceful, and unworthy of your Christian profession, that such a thing should be heard of as that the most steadfast and ancient church of the Corinthians should, on account of one or two persons, engage in sedition against its presbyters. And this rumour has reached not only us, but those also who are unconnected with us; so that, through your infatuation, the name of the Lord is blasphemed, while danger is also brought upon yourselves.

The reason I referenced Clement in my class is that even before the end of the first century, many of the letters that make up our New Testament were already recognized as authoritative and scriptural. Many of the books we read in our Bibles today were already being read regularly in the churches around the Mediterranean region.

Even more intriguing is that Paul mentions a Clement in his letter to the Philippians.

I plead with Euodia and I plead with Syntyche to be of the same mind in the Lord. Yes, and I ask you, my true companion, help these women since they have contended at my side in the cause of the gospel, along with Clement and the rest of my co-workers, whose names are in the book of life. (Philippians 4:2-3)

There is no way to know conclusively if the Clement mentioned by Paul is the same Clement who eventually became the overseer of the church at Rome. But it’s intriguing to think that we might actually have extant writings of a figure mentioned in scripture, who otherwise would simply be a name on a page. It would be like finding the work of Apollos or Nicodemus.

I really wish sometimes that I could spend my days studying and learning things that I never got to in my formal education.

Daily Broadside | Where Have I Been?

No deep analysis today, just a note to say that I’ve been absent with cause. A combination of a surge in my day job responsibilities, required prep for a class I’m teaching at my church, a whiff of fatigue, and problems with my PC, all conspired to make last week a non-starter for consistent blogging.

However, I’m through the toughest part of it and should be able to get back in the swing of things starting tomorrow, so look for a new post on Tuesday.

And, as always, thanks for reading — especially when I actually post something.

Daily Broadside | Will Silent Prayer Become a Thought Crime Here?

Because our politics is so out of control, I spend a lot of time beating on politicians, particularly progressives. There’s never enough time to examine all of the lies, hypocrisy and general foolishness of the Left. Every time I turn around there’s another story that illustrates their complete disconnect with reality.

But there’s also stories from the world of faith, and I don’t spend enough time examining what they reveal about us. Here is this story from back in December, when a British woman was arrested for praying outside of an abortion clinic.

Mind you, she wasn’t praying out loud, or pacing, or leading others in a prayer. She wasn’t chanting, holding signs, or making the sign of the cross.

She was standing, by herself, in silence.

A pro-life woman was arrested earlier this month for silently praying outside an abortion clinic in Birmingham, U.K. on the grounds that she had breached a speech buffer zone established by the local city council.

Police told Isabel Vaughan-Spruce that she would be taken into custody for violating a Public Space Protection Order. Video footage of the arrest was captured by AllThingsProLife and circulated by Alliance Defending Freedom, which is hosting a fundraiser for Vaughan-Spruce’s legal defense.

When officers asked whether she was part of a protest, she replied “no.” They then asked if she was praying, to which she said she could be doing so “in my head.” Police then searched her, and patted down her hair, before handcuffing her and escorting her to the station.

This is totalitarian-level harassment. You can watch her arrest here:

Vaughan-Spruce issued a statement through Alliance Defending Freedom UK.

“It’s abhorrently wrong that I was searched, arrested, interrogated by police and charged simply for praying in the privacy of my own mind. Censorship zones purport to ban harassment, which is already illegal. Nobody should ever be subject to harassment. But what I did was the furthest thing from harmful – I was exercising my freedom of thought, my freedom of religion, inside the privacy of my own mind. Nobody should be criminalised for thinking and for praying, in a public space in the UK,” said Isabel Vaughan-Spruce, following her arrest for silent prayer.   

This is literally arresting someone for a thought-crime. Note that the only indication the police had that she was praying was that “she could be doing so ‘in my head.'” Nothing was heard. Yet she was arrested for praying silently.

I know that we don’t see this in the United States. Not yet. But who would’ve thought that such oppression would be tolerated in the UK?

Daily Broadside | 80 Illinois Sheriffs Won’t Enforce New Gun Ban

About a week ago or so I wrote about the new Illinois law that bans the sale of military-style firearms, despite it being clearly unconstitutional. At the end of the column, I said that Democrats use lawfare to make citizens sue for their rights.

Legal challenges have already been filed against the law, which we thought might be our only recourse, but lo and behold, sheriffs in 80 Illinois counties have vowed to not enforce the law. They have all issued similar statements in explaining their decisions. For example, here is the statement that Monroe County, Ill., Sheriff Neal Rohlfing issued.

Part of my duties that I accepted upon being sworn into office was to protect the rights provided to all of us, in the Constitution. One of those enumerated rights is the right of the people to keep and bear arms provided under the 2nd Amendment.

The right to keep and bear arms for defense of life, liberty and property is regarded as an inalienable right by the people.

I, among many others, believe that HB 5471 is a clear violation of the 2nd Amendment to the US Constitution.

Therefore, as the custodian of the jail and chief law enforcement official for Monroe County, that neither myself nor my office will be checking to ensure that lawful gun owners register their weapons with the State, nor will be arresting or housing law abiding individuals that have been arrested solely with non-compliance of this Act.

These sheriffs have obviously banded together to defy Pritzker and are turning it into a conflict between enforcing state law and protecting the Constitution of the United States. The state may not infringe on the rights of the people through the law, and the police may not infringe on them through enforcement.

Here’s a map of the counties declining to enforce the gun ban law, effectively making themselves sanctuary counties.

Map of counties of Illinois which will and will not be enforcing Illinois’s new Assault Weapon Ban from MapPorn

This of course did not sit well with the hard-left, anti-Constitutional Pritzker, one of the many governors who shut down their states during COVID and kept renewing their emergency powers.

Gov. JB Pritzker warned that law enforcement “will in fact do their job” on enforcing Illinois’ new gun ban or else they “won’t be in their job” as some sheriffs have announced they will not enforce it.

The Illinois sheriffs are showing us one way through the constant barrage of anti-constitutional overreach by government at all levels, whether local, state or federal. Just like certain cities and states declared they were “sanctuary cities” where they would not enforce federal law concerning illegal aliens and turning them over to ICE, so the same tactic can be used by those who respect the Constitution of the United States.

How this plays out over the next year will be a good test of this strategy.

Daily Broadside | Distorting History Will Never Bring the Offended Justice

As I mentioned on Friday, I was traveling this weekend. I was in Washington, D.C., where the world, the flesh and the devil meet in a swirling vortex of power and greed.

While I was there I walked down Pennsylvania Avenue past the Federal Bureau of Investigation, where plots against Trump were hatched and dirty information on Joe and Hunter Biden was suppressed. I walked down Constitution Avenue past the Department of Justice where Merrick Garland had the audacity to green light a raid on Donald J. Trump’s personal home, a first in American history, over nothing more than “classified” documents that he had the inherent power to declassify as he wished.

I wasn’t filled with pride when I saw these buildings; I was filled with revulsion at the sickening abuse of power that they represent.

There were some good experiences that offset the grim reminders those granite buildings represented. I walked through the National Archives (right next door to the DOJ) and saw the originals of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Those made my heart swell with pride over the foresight and wisdom of our Founding Fathers, who created the freest country the world has ever known.

But even they, in all their earthly wisdom, couldn’t make something that would outlast the evil in the human heart. I’ve quoted it before and will quote it a hundred more times before I die, but John Adams said, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”

Generally speaking, we are no longer a “moral and religious People.” The people currently in the government “of, by and for the People” are drawn out of that no-longer-religious community. They are, with few exceptions, of, by and for themselves.

A good example of how this plays out was in the National Archives’ gift shop. As I walked through it something felt “off” to me. I couldn’t place my finger on it until it occurred to me that while there were facsimiles of our founding documents and pocket Constitutions and stickers and magnets and pencils and coffee cups and T-shirts, there were very few representations of the MEN who wrote these documents. Instead, what I saw were sections devoted to women and minorities.

I have no problem with acknowledging that women played a role in our founding, or that minorities also contributed. But the degree to which they were represented in the gift shop was all out of proportion to the contributions they made. Again, not to disparage any group, but it wasn’t women and minorities who wrote the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution or the Bill of Rights.

It doesn’t matter that it was a patriarchal society — you can’t make that “right” by somehow downplaying or demonizing men and increasing the presence of women in a gift shop.

Yet, that’s what I saw. And that is a direct result of a grievance, which comes from feeling a dissatisfaction or perceiving an injustice, which is believing you have been wronged — and that is exacerbated by not getting the justice or revenge you think you deserve.

Somehow, those in charge think they are getting “justice” by replacing our history or emphasizing minor actors out of proportion to their contributions. Unfortunately, all they’re doing is distorting history.

True justice for things done a hundred or two hundred years ago can’t be had. But, someday, the True Judge of all mankind will bring justice to bear and make all things right across all time.

Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you;
    therefore he will rise up to show you compassion.
For the Lord is a God of justice.
    Blessed are all who wait for him!
— Isaiah 30:18

Daily Broadside | The Rank Hypocrisy of the Left on Full Display in New Document Revelations

Friday the 13th. Black cats and bad luck, apparently. Meh.

So, Attorney General Merrick Garland has appointed a special prosecutor to investigate the Resident, who was found to have two different stashes of classified government documents; one at Biden’s office at the Penn Biden Center (his “think” tank … *snort* *giggle* *LOL*), and one at home in his garage alongside his, get this, Sting Ray Corvette.

The Washington Post:

Robert K. Hur is a former U.S. attorney from Maryland who served as a senior official in President Donald Trump’s Justice Department. His appointment comes after lawyers for President Biden said additional classified material was found during a search of his home in Wilmington, Del. Garland’s decision means special counsels are reviewing the handling of classified material found at the homes and offices of both the current and most recent U.S. presidents.

Why is this important? Because it’s EXACTLY what Garland’s GestapoTM and the haters in Washington have been all over Trump about, but it’s arguably worse.

The documents are from when he was vice-president, not president. Only the president, as chief executive, has the power to declassify any document he so chooses. Biden was not vested with that power over these documents.

The Trump documents were kept under lock and key in an inner room in his estate. Biden’s were in two different places with minimal security — especially the set in his garage with his Sting Ray Corvette.

Trump knew what documents he had. Biden didn’t know what he had or how the documents got there.

They media is treating this as a nothing burger whereas with Trump it akin to treason. As Ace says, “Tucker Carlson pointed out that MSNBC’s pet pop historian Michael Bechsloss suggested that Trump should be put to death like the Rosenbergs, and former CIA director Michael Hayden agreed.” Think he’ll suggest the same for Biden?

With Trump, they conducted the first-in-history DOJ raid on a former president’s home, even though the documents were known. You think a SWAT team will be breaking down Biden’s door at his personal residence or nah?

Missouri Republican Sen. Josh Hawley, meanwhile, wrote directly to Garland on Wednesday saying “[i]n President Trump’s case, that retention [of documents] triggered an unprecedented raid on the home of a former president, rationalized with a thicket of partisan doublespeak. President Biden has not experienced anything remotely similar.”

“Every conservative out there is completely disgusted with the standard that exists in America when it comes to conservatives and everybody else,” he further asserted, per The Hill.

Just like Trump had classified documents at his home, so did Biden. The difference in how the media whores and the politicians are treating the two instances is all you need to know about our rulers.

I’ll be traveling this weekend so there will be no Broadside on Monday. Have a good weekend.

Daily Broadside | Tit for Tat is No Way to Go Through Life, Kevin — But It’ll Do For Now

Middle of the week and there’s a flurry of activity in the House as Kevin McLuntz (LOL thanks to J.J. Sefton over at Ace of Spades) works the list of promises he made to get and keep the gavel. Unlike the IRS defunding bill that doesn’t stand a snowball’s chance of surviving Daytona Beach at noon in the middle of July of being passed by the Senate, much less signed by the Resident, his promised next move is entirely within his control and will produce immediate results.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy confirmed late Monday that he will make good on his pre-midterm pledge to remove three high-profile Democrats — Reps. Adam Schiff, Eric Swalwell and Ilhan Omar — from their House committees.

McCarthy (R-Calif.) told the Associated Press that he would move to strip the trio of their assignments, following through on a vow of payback for Democrats ousting Reps. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) from their panels during the last Congress.

Schiff and Swalwell, both from California, would be removed from the House Intelligence Committee while Minnesota’s Omar would be kicked off the House Foreign Affairs Committee.

McCarthy vowed almost exactly a year ago that he would remove the three Democrats if Republicans won back the House in the 2022 midterm elections, and repeated that promise last November after his prediction was realized.

They call it “payback” and it’ll be spun as revenge, but the truth is that the Democrats — especially San Fran Nan — started this tactic in the last Congress. Omar was quick to denounce his plan to demote her. “I think it would be hypocritic [sic] for him to remove, you know, the first African born on subcommittee on Africa on the Foreign Affairs Committee, where I’ve had the opportunity to not only represent my constituents but the voice of so many people who have never had a voice on the Foreign Affairs Committee.”

It’s so sad all those people on the African continent have never had a voice on the Foreign Affairs Committee.

McCarthy offered his reasoning for revoking their committee assignments.

“Eric Swalwell cannot get a security clearance in the public sector,” McCarthy told Fox News’s Maria Bartiromo at the time. “Why would we ever give him a security clearance and the secrets to America? So, I will not allow him to be on Intel.”

Schiff, meanwhile, “lied to the American public time and again,” McCarthy said, while Omar has made “anti-Semitic comments.”

Not to mention that Swalwell slept with Chinese spy “Fang Fang” and threatened to nuke a fellow American, while Adam Schiff lied through is teeth about Trump and took part in sandbagging the former president through a sham impeachment process, twice. And Ilhan Omar is credibly accused of marrying her own brother in order to help him get a green card to stay in the U.S.

I’m totally in favor of stripping these three compromised anti-Americans from their posts.

See, when Democrats break precedent, it’s to protect our precious democracy (*ptooie*) from white supremacist domestic terrorists; when Republicans do it, they’re destroying our precious norms and institutions (*ptooie*). We can’t go on like this. Like Trump said, we have to punch back twice as hard and make life as miserable for the hard left as we can while we take back political territory that we’ve conceded. It is, as Andrew Breitbart said, “War!”
