Daily Broadside | The Children Running Things Have Made the World Less Safe

Daily Verse | Jeremiah 12:1b
Why does the way of the wicked prosper?
Why do all the faithless live at ease?

It’s Wednesday and we’ve crested the bell curve for the week. True story: I’ve landed in an airplane one time less than I’ve taken off in one.

The more I read about the train wreck of a dumpster fire in Afghanistan the more livid I become. I’m sad, yes, over the tragedy and what it means for the men, women and children who are not the Taliban, but I’m more angry than sad about it by a factor of, oh, 100. And the group I’m angry with are the insipid clowns who have caused the disgraceful debacle in Afghanistan.

They’re like small children playing with dollhouses and toy cars, zooming along in their imaginations but totally clueless about how life works in reality. Resident Moonbeam blamed and deflected with a defiant tone during his ten minute explainer on Monday, just like a toddler who has been told to turn off the TV and get ready for dinner. These people are buffoons and idiots who lie for a living because reality doesn’t — and can’t — match their utopian fantasies.

You think I’m making this up? Here’s a transcript of Joey 39 Flavors contradicting his own intelligence services.

But Dementia Joe had a plan, a perfectly “careful and thought-out plan,” according to Chuck Schumer, the useless anti-American majority leader in the Senate, talking to CNN’s John Berman on April 14:

I think President Biden has come up with a careful and thought-out plan. Look, John, the president doesn’t want endless wars. I don’t want endless wars. And neither do the American people. And it’s refreshing to have a thought-out plan with a set timetable instead of the president waking up one morning, getting out of bed and saying what just pops into his head and then the generals having walked it back. So I think this is a careful, thought-out plan.

Maybe Chuck sincerely thought it was a careful and thought-out plan. But if he did, he was spectacularly wrong. If he didn’t, he’s a liar. Either way, Chuck Schumer’s a joker.

How about Secretary of State Antony Blinken just four days ago?

“Remember, this is not Saigon,” Blinken told CNN, referring to the fall of Saigon in 1975 at the end of the Vietnam War. “We went to Afghanistan 20 years ago with one mission, and that mission was to deal with the folks who attacked us on 9/11 – and we have succeeded in that mission.”

Sure, we didn’t “win” in Vietnam, but can you call it a “win” in Afghanistan? And why was there an urgent need to destroy documents and the scramble to evacuate our diplomats? Prevaricator.

Then there’s General Millie Vanillie who is fabulously woke, but who just wrecked all the work we did in Afghanistan:

The same month – since when the Taleban’s lightning offensive has surprised many US military officials – the chairman of the US joint chiefs of staff, General Mark Milley, also rejected comparisons to the desperate exit from Saigon.

“I do not see that unfolding,” Gen Milley said. “I may be wrong, who knows, you can’t predict the future, but I don’t see Saigon 1975 in Afghanistan. The Taleban (forces) just aren’t the North Vietnamese Army. It’s not that kind of situation.”

Got that? He did not “see that unfolding.” Oh, really? What did he see then, Afghans holding hands and singing us out of the country? How the hell does that man still have a job? Maybe instead of pushing CRT and chasing phantom terrorists among Normal Americans, he should have been studying the situation on the ground in Afghanistan.

Finally, there’s the wicked witch of the West, San Fran Nan:

In her full statement, she again emphasized Joey Fudge Chunk’s sensational planning: “Once again, I want to acknowledge the clarity of purpose of [alleged] President Biden’s statement and the wisdom of his actions.”

Yeah, Nancy? Tell that to Barack Hussein Obama, who told us not to “underestimate Joe’s ability to f**k things up.” I’m no fan of Obama, but at least he had Biden dead to rights on that count.

And don’t forget Circle Back Psaki believing that the plan is so wonderful they can’t guarantee that the 11,000 American citizens and 30,000 Afghan nationals who aided the U.S. efforts will get out safely.

Not to mention the “fair amount” of weapons the US left in Afghanistan are in the possession of the Taliban and won’t be returned to us.

Oh, and the terrorists coming across our southern border.

Oh also, the dolt Senator John Cornyn who tweeted “the number of US troops stationed in South Korea, Germany, Japan, China’s Taiwan and on the African continent to show how the number of US soldiers has dwindled in Afghanistan. But in the process, Cornyn revealed the shocking news that there are 30,000 US troops on China’s Taiwan island.” Now China has cause to go to war on Taiwan.

And China is wasting no time in threatening Taiwan.

Oh, and almost forgot, “Iran has accelerated its enrichment of uranium to near weapons-grade” because, Biden!

At least the tweets are nice now. Joey Vanilla Bean is restoring our norms, everybody!

Steven Hayward rants about our national humiliation.

Taxpayers should be furious not just about the profligate waste and extravagance of such an establishment, but at the bottomless idiocy of a class of credentialled people who think that the answer to every foreign problem is to spend absurd amounts of money, hire endless case officers and private contractors/consultants, outreach coordinators to tweet out rainbow flag celebrations, issue endless white papers analyzing the situation that bear little or no relation to reality, and an apparatus that has proven unable to process visas for the Afghans who worked for us, let alone have a plan for evacuating Americans. Despite Biden’s pathetic defense of the outcome, he ought to be furious with the whole upper echelon of our military-diplomatic complex. There ought to be mass firings. Of course, we all know that no one will be fired, and no senior person in this apparatus of disaster will have the honor to resign.

Again, these people are fundamentally unserious and they have just made the world a lot less safe; like, significantly unsafe. Not just in the Middle East, but in America. They have no business being on the operational side of the power they wield.

Anyone who voted for Joe Biden in 2020 owns this abject disgrace. They own our decimated economy, our lawless open border, the spiraling inflation, the expensive gasoline, the terrorist threats that now exist — they own it all. Trump had made us strong again, but they gave half of America the finger based on lies from the Deep State amplified by the Democrat-Media Complex, and now we all live with the consequences of their sanctimonious high-school hissy fit.

If there’s even a sliver of a silver lining in all of this — and that’s a very big “if” — it’s that everybody, including the cultural Marxists, just got hit upside the head with the real-world consequences of having Joseph Robinette Biden and his mob of junior commies in charge.

You can’t deny that he and his crew have screwed up royally. Everybody and their mother is pointing it out.

But it won’t change anything, guaranteed.

If it were up to me, I’d throw every last one of the Democrats — and a fair number of Republicans — out of their cushy office chairs paid for with my taxes. Washington needs to be torn down, salted over and rebuilt the way our Founders first did it — with truly wise men.

Daily Broadside | Biden Casts Blame for His Incompetence on Afghanistan

Daily Verse | Jeremiah 8:6
No one repents of his wickedness,
saying, “What have I done?”

Happy Tuesday, Broadsiders! I don’t make it a habit to eat a boiled egg every day.

The appalling, unmitigated disaster that is the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan led by Joey Waffle Cone continues to get worse by the day. It’s a stunning embarrassment for the United States, a humiliation on the global stage, and a shameful disgrace that should lead to every single employee in this illegitimate administration getting fired.

While Afghanistan is falling in on itself, Resident Biden went on “vacation,” along with Circle Back Psaki, who was AWOL and unavailable to answer questions about where Biden was or what he thought about the situation he created in Afghanistan. Yes, the world is on fire and Biden is taking some time off.

But after getting bad press from both sides of the political aisle, including CNN, The New York Times, and the Washington Post, the man of a thousand ice cream flavors was juiced up with Adderall and sent out to make a statement, which sounded like this: Trump! Afghans! I had no choice but I stand behind my decision!

“The choice I had to make, as your president, was either to follow through on [Trump’s] agreement, or be prepared to go back to fighting the Taliban in the middle of the spring fighting season.”

He’s lying about that. He could’ve nixed the deal that Trump had in place and done his own deal. He could’ve increased the number of troops we had in Afghanistan — he’s (allegedly) the Commander in Chief! It’s not like he had to do Trump’s deal. Heck, he reversed a number of Trump policies.

Biden’s a weasel, blaming Trump for the situation.

I will give Biden this: you can’t provide will power. The Afghan army had no confidence in their ability to defeat the Taliban. Yet, if you’re pulling your troops out of a country, you need to plan on an orderly withdrawal and put the infrastructure in place to guarantee your plan.

Biden didn’t do that.

This band of political losers — yes, you read that correctly — doesn’t have a clue about human nature or about how the real world works. Sen. Tom Cotton understands the gravity of the situation: “President Biden is dangerously disconnected from reality.”

Powerline’s Paul Mirengoff writes that the collapse of the country was that obvious to anyone watching.

“[B]oth presidents had enough sense to maintain our presence — for eight years in Obama’s case and for four in Trump’s. They did so because they understood that, in all likelihood, our withdrawal would mean a total Taliban takeover of the country, a bloodbath of anyone who had supported us in that country, a national humiliation for America, and a return to power of the two terrorist groups responsible for 9/11.”

Hidin’ Biden and his crackpot team are fundamentally unserious people who are wrecking not only our country, but the country of Afghanistan, making the world less safe and diminishing America’s prestige among the nations.

2024 can’t come soon enough.

Daily Broadside | The Disaster Unfolding in Afghanistan

Daily Verse | Jeremiah 2:5
“They followed worthless idols
and became worthless themselves.”

Welcome to Monday and to a new week. I recommend naming your next dog “Doug” and changing the sign to read, “Beware of the Doug.”

If there’s anything that illustrates the incompetence of Joe Biden and this administration, it’s the withdrawal of our troops from Afghanistan. The Taliban have taken over the Presidential Palace in Kabul. President Ashraf Ghani fled Afghanistan. U.S. troops flew helicopters to our embassy in Kabul to evacuate diplomats as the Taliban stormed the building, looking eerily like a replay of the fall of Saigon in 1975.

World leaders are roundly condemning Resident Biden who, even when he had all his faculties accounted for, wasn’t the brightest bulb in the box.

World leaders are speaking out about their disappointment with the security situation in Afghanistan, with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson going so far as to pin the blame on President Joe Biden and the United States.

Johnson said it was “fair to say the US decision to pull out has accelerated things, but this has in many ways been a chronicle of an event foretold,” but urged western leaders to work together to prevent Afghanistan from again becoming a “breeding ground for terrorism.”

Also to blame are our woke Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and super-woke Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milley, “the nation’s highest-ranking military officer, and the principal military advisor to the President, Secretary of Defense, and National Security Council.” But at least they have all the right opinions and are chasing the real threats to democracy: normal Americans.

Mike Pence piled on.

Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo also blasted the Biden team for poor execution and strategy, but pointed out what our greatest concern has to be: a return to a rising Islamic terrorism.

Pompeo said the true concern in Afghanistan is not the Taliban per se. The primary fear is a return of Taliban rule will return Afghanistan to being a likely “hotbed” for Al Qaeda and ISIS, as it was before September 11, 2001.

Of course, the Left is covering for Biden, blaming their favorite scapegoat, President Trump, who called on Biden to resign.

“It is time for Joe Biden to resign in disgrace for what he has allowed to happen to Afghanistan, along with the tremendous surge in COVID, the Border catastrophe, the destruction of energy independence, and our crippled economy,” the former president wrote in a statement.

We can debate whether Trump’s Afghanistan exit plan would’ve worked or not, but just like Covid-19 and the “plan” Biden had to take care of it, his administration inherited the Afghanistan mess and it’s his debacle, not Bush’s, not Obama’s, not Trump’s. His.

And he and his team are completely out of their depth.

The worst of it is the 20 years and billions of dollars we spent in that country doing what, exactly? While I was ready to have us out of there long ago we stayed and stayed and stayed to promote what — democracy? We did a terrible job and all that blood and treasure has gone for naught. We’ve got nothing to show for it.

What a waste of time, treasure and life, and how demoralizing for the veterans of Afghanistan.

With U.S. troops having left Afghanistan after nearly two decades of fighting in the region, many veterans who served in combat deployments are reportedly struggling with poor mental health and struggling to make sense of it all as they watch the Taliban retake the country.

Biden’s failure in Afghanistan is of a piece with his failures everywhere else his team intervenes. They don’t care. This tweet sums up our country since Joey Chocolate Chip has been in office.

But No Moar Mean TweetsTM and a return to normal!

Daily Broadside | Lawlessness is a Feature of the New Normal

Daily Verse | Isaiah 43:11
“I, even I, am the Lord,
and apart from me there is no savior.”

Happy Thursday, my friends. What time should we invade Canada?

Look, we all know that the man sleeping in the White House with his Doctor Wife is an unprincipled fraud, a charlatan, a poser and a grifting opportunist whose brain is sputtering as it withers on the vine. As bad as all that is, none of it compares with the damage he’s doing to our country with his blatant disregard for the U.S. Constitution, which he swore to uphold on January 20.

We are a country of laws, which means that from the most powerful to the lowliest person in our society, everyone is to follow and be judged according to our laws, meaning that everyone is equal before the law. Even the junior commies spout, “No one is above the law!” when it suits their purposes.

Yet we are forced to watch as our ruling class flouts the law for partisan outcomes and no one in a position of power does anything to maintain law and order or hold the bastards accountable. Hillary Clinton, James Comey and Andrew Cuomo are three that immediately come to mind. They should all be in prison by now.

But close on their heels is none other than Resident Joey Biden, who shouldn’t be anywhere near the levers of power in this country but who was installed after the disgraceful coup staged by the openly corrupt Democrat machine planted across the fruited plain.

Joey Lawless is a law unto himself, refusing to enforce those that exist and making up those that don’t. For instance, we have laws governing who is allowed into the country, who isn’t, and how those who come here are processed. While there have always been border jumpers, Joey Lawless not only allows them to freely swarm in, but actively invites them to do so.

Although there’s a southern border on paper, for all intents and purposes one doesn’t exist in Biden’s reality.

Did you know that under Biden’s rule, the government has released more than 50,000 illegals since March without giving them a court date? That’s 50,000 people who are now de facto permanent residents. But wait! That’s not all!

A senior federal official who spoke with the Free Beacon expects Biden to end Title 42—a law used by former president Trump’s Centers for Disease Control to block migrants from entering the country—sometime this month. As part of the preparation for that policy reversal, senior Department of Homeland Security officials warned staff that they will have to process up to 1,200 family units a day. That number of family units works out to 312,000 a year, assuming the border does not see any future surges. Following their release from custody, those migrants are in effect free to stay, said one DHS official, because many immigrants skip their immigration court hearings sometimes scheduled two years after they are initially detained.

[…]

The internal directive further damaged morale within national security agencies where staff already feel overwhelmed with initiatives ordered by the Biden administration. These policies all seem focused on the singular purpose of letting in as many migrants as possible and forcing staff attention away from security threats entering the country.

Those who spoke with the Free Beacon described an agency undergoing a dramatic transformation under Biden and Homeland Security secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. Some now question their mission as they prepare for humanitarian crises on the border after the end of Title 42 and Trump’s “Remain in Mexico Policy.”

“All of these people will become permanent residents. There’s no political will from the Biden administration to deport families once they’re already admitted. The White House knows that,” a DHS official said. “The end of Title 42 will result in de facto open borders.”

He chose not to end Title 42, but it will eventually. My emphasis on “312,000 family units per year,” which, if you assume an average of just 4 people per unit, is well over one million people who “will become permanent residents.”

This deeply angers me because it’s not natural population growth in our country. It’s now population displacement. These new residents will join what is most assuredly more than 30 million other illegals now sunk in our society and, while we can all agree that being compassionate toward the truly abused is as American as apple pie, we are not obligated to receive anyone and everyone who simply wants to come live here.

We are not the world’s homeless shelter.

We can argue over what is the right approach to immigration, but the bottom line is that we expect our government to protect its citizens. They are to defend our borders and provide security for its citizens, and our government, led by an illegitimate executive, is not only not doing that, he’s actively facilitating open borders.

For more detail on the impact that illegal aliens have on our society, read these two articles (Part I and Part II) by Jonathan Clay de Hale over at Illinois Family Action.

You know what else Joey Lawless is doing? He’s openly, willfully ignoring the unconstitutionality of an extension of a moratorium on evictions across the country and allowing his administration to enact a “targeted eviction moratorium after a wide-ranging federal ban expired over the weekend.”

Biden was asked multiple times about the impending announcement at a news conference on Tuesday afternoon. He insisted he did not want to get ahead of the CDC, but seemed to acknowledge the new order is likely to face legal challenges.

“Whether that option will pass constitutional measure with this administration, I can’t tell you. I don’t know,” Biden said. “There are a few scholars who say it will, and others who say it’s not likely to. But, at a minimum, by the time it gets litigated it will probably give some additional time while we’re getting that $45 billion out to people who are in fact behind in the rent and don’t have the money.”

My emphasis to underscore that the dementia patient sitting in the Oval Office is now gaming the system to get what his junior commies want: to put small mom and pop rental properties out of business and allow big conglomerates to buy them up at low cost and then pimp them out to the government to fill their coffers. It’s always — always! — about the money. Just throw it to the courts and let nine unelected bureaucrats justices determine if it’s legal or not, then clap the dust off your hands and move on.

You can’t have a country without borders and you can’t have a free country with a government choosing winners and losers. This administration is pro-foreigners, pro-commie and anti-American and anti-law. They choose which laws they want to enforce or not enforce, instead of doing their constitutional duty and carrying out the will of the people expressed through legally binding laws and, the grand-daddy of them all, the U.S. Constitution.

Joey Lawless can’t be trusted to carry out our laws unless it’s to make false charges of sedition or insurrection and hunt down elderly citizens whose only crime was wandering around the People’s House taking selfies. We are experiencing a reset in our country that does not favor the patriot or the proud American citizen. Lawlessness becomes anarchy, and anarchy inevitably leads to violence, death and destruction.

We the People are eventually going to be backed into a corner and will have a decision to make. Be ready.

Daily Broadside | Losing Their Grip They Squeezed Harder

Daily Verse | Isaiah 22:5
The Lord, the Lord Almighty, has a day of tumult and trampling and terror in the Valley of Vision, a day of battering down walls and of crying out to the mountains.

Friday and the end of July even though it feels like we just started the month last week. Let’s meet on the deck at 9:00 tonight. Shoes optional.

As we are carried further downstream by the commie tsunami in our country, Americans like you and me will have to decide when civil disobedience is required against the irrational and ever-changing mask mandates, vaccination pressure campaigns and the specter of vaccine passports. Resident Asterisk* insulted those of us who don’t trust anything he or his team say about the Chinese Lung Pox.

“If you’re not vaccinated, you’re not nearly as smart as I thought you were.” The Resident thinks shaming people is a great way to get them to do something, so that oughta work.

CDC director Dr. Rochelle Walensky indicated this week that “vaccine passports” might be a “path forward” in the U.S.

When probed about next steps, Berman wondered if the CDC would ever “lean into” vaccine passes. Some countries in Europe now require “health passes,” or vaccination certificates, to gain access to things like bars and restaurants. The decision has prompted protests and backlash, with thousands taking to the streets in France earlier in July to voice opposition to the move.

“You know, I think some communities are doing that and that may very well be a path forward,” Walensky declared. “I do want to sort of comment that in some fully vaccinated venues, if they’re unmasked and there are a few people who are transmitting there … Overall it’s so very critical to just get the huge amount of disease in some of these areas down.”

Do you see the level of power and control that’s being suggested? Why doesn’t she just stitch a little yellow virus icon on our clothing?

To top it all off, her comments come as we’re finding out that this fraudulent administration is dumping illegals all over the country and that many of them are being allowed into the interior with Covid-19.

The individual reported that there was a large illegal family inside the restaurant, visibly displaying signs of sickness such as coughing and sneezing without making any efforts to cover themselves, in violation of basic health guidelines. The manager confirmed to the officer that they wanted the illegals to leave the restaurant, since everyone else inside felt “uneasy” at their presence.

Upon approaching the group, the illegals told the officer that they had been apprehended at the border by Border Patrol agents, where they tested positive for the coronavirus; nevertheless, they said they were released a few days later.

Sergeant Casas said in his statement that local law enforcement had never been informed of this development by federal immigration authorities. “No one told the city of La Joya. No one told the police department that these people were here, and no one told us that these people were possibly ill.”

And yet, the jackass who is currently sits in the seat of ‘the most powerful man in the world’ has the temerity to demonize unvaccinated Americans. “We have a pandemic because of the unvaccinated, and they’re sowing enormous confusion. And the more we learn about this virus and the Delta variation, the more we have to be worried and concerned.”

Got it. So you and your team not only encourage border jumpers, but release them, WITH COVID-19, into the interior of the United States without a word to anybody, then turn around and start threatening mask mandates for the actual citizens of this country?!

These people are abusing their elected power and it is time to make them understand that they are not gods and we are not their servants. And by “we” I mean “we.” They need to hear from all of us that they’ve gone too far and we’ve had enough and we’re ready to fight the tyranny.

Have a good weekend.

Daily Broadside | Are You Ready to Take a Stand?

Daily Verse | Isaiah 10:1-2
Woe to those who make unjust laws,
to those who issue oppressive decrees,
to deprive the poor of their rights
and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people,
making widows their prey
and robbing the fatherless.

Happy Tuesday Broadsiders! I’m having my sheer curtain collection dry cleaned today.

Here’s a problem: we are living in a nascent totalitarian state. It’s definitely not full-grown yet, but the signs that it’s there are many and troubling:

Dozens, if not hundreds, of American citizens, mostly Trump supporters, are being held, without charges, in solitary confinement in horrible conditions, without due process and are being referred to as white supremacists and terrorists. Their crime? Entering the nation’s Capitol on January 6 and now — jailed as political prisoners.

The theft of the November 2020 election. Joe Biden is a Resident, and not a very good one. There is no way that he got 81 million votes against Trump’s 75 million, and the results of audits in states like Arizona and Georgia are finding evidence of widespread fraud.

The demonization of conservative Americans is newer. “Normals” are being called the greatest threat to America as a form of “domestic extremism.” By that they mean American citizens who believe in God, go to church, love their families, resist big government, own firearms and think government is only a necessary evil.

In the U.S. right now it’s ordinary patriots and everyone on the Right who are being demonized, labeled as ‘white supremacists’ and ‘domestic terrorists’.  And it seems many of those who still support the Left are in denial about the implications for their own freedom and civil rights.

The deep state concocting the lies about Trump colluding with Russia and now, the kidnapping plot against Gov. Gretchen Witmer of Michigan, which is being revealed as having been conceived and led by members of the FBI.

Nancy Pelosi’s Jan. 6 “bi-partisan” commission is anything but, with the two “Republicans” she appointed being RINOs Rep. Liz Cheney and and Rep. Adam Kinzinger who already support Pelosi’s position. It’s a show trial, not a meaningful contribution to learning what happened on January 6.

Those are just a few examples of totalitarian behaviors that we never thought we’d see. The bigger question is, “What do we do about it?”

That’s where it gets tricky. Some reports suggest that the government is trying to instigate a response from those being demonized. I’m sure that there are some people who are beginning to wonder what they can do to “punch back” against this unholy government abuse.

But should conservative Americans “punch back,” that will, in essence, “prove” the accusation that we’re the greatest threat to American democracy. Plus, there’s no organization for patriots to “enlist” in, so most of us are sitting, isolated in our homes chomping at the bit to “do” something. But something is happening:

It looks as if the silent majority is finally seeing the writing on the wall.  We are realizing that if we do nothing when the government comes for our neighbor, then there will be no one left to help when the government comes for us.

The left’s control of the media, social media, and the government has allowed them to go after pretty much everything that is American, starting with every tenet of our Bill of Rights.

It’s quite unsettling. In a thematically-related piece, Brent Hamachek writes,

The actual, and slightly allegorical, story was that of the event organizer, known to attendees as Felisa@PatriotParty.Rocks, having to literally run barefoot over gravel, and at full speed, while chasing down an automobile filled with a family who had just been turned away at the event gate.  They were told they “were not on the list.”  The family was, in fact, “on the list” and were being denied entrance in what can only be considered a deliberate act of sabotage.  It is exactly the sort of thing that we dissidents need to expect and be prepared to deal with as we continue our fight to alter the current trajectory of America.

Felisa caught the family, got them admitted into the event, and tore up both feet in the process.  In the moment, she thought there was nothing significant about what she had done.  Later that day when she shared what had happened, someone asked her why she did what she did, run across gravel barefoot to chase down a car while showing no regard for her own personal well-being. She simply responded, “What else was I supposed to do?  They are patriots.  I had to do something.”

The metaphor from the story was clear.  Given the current state of our country, for those who wish to join in the struggle to restore individual liberty, we are going to have to be willing to take off our shoes and run on the rocks.  We are going to have to take risks.  We are going to have to expose ourselves to the potential to suffer both personal pain and loss.

That’s what this is coming down to, I think. Many of us are going to have to decide what freedom is worth .. and whether we are ready to sacrifice to preserve our liberties.

You don’t have a lot of time to decide.

Daily Broadside | Our Media Is an Enemy of the People

Daily Verse | Job 9:15
“Though I were innocent, I could not answer him; I could only plead with my Judge for mercy.”

Happy Friday, Broadsiders — we’re heading into Memorial Day weekend. I hope you enjoy your Monday off here in the U.S. I’m doubling my weekend by taking today off, too.

Does anybody remember Hunter Biden’s laptop? The laptop that he dropped off at a Delaware repair shop and abandoned? This one:

You could be forgiven for forgetting it, since it was memory holed by the oligarchy running the country formerly known as the United States of America. The Biden laptop with all of the incriminating information it contained about his and his father’s selling their political connections to the Ukrainians and Chinese were censored and blacklisted by social media including Twitter and Facebook in the run up to the 2020 presidential election.

Well, guess what? JOE BIDEN IS A LIAR. Just like we knew he was.

Joe Biden met with Ukrainian, Russian and Kazakhstani business associates of his son’s at a dinner in Washington, DC, while he was vice president, records on Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop show.

The dinner, on April 16, 2015, was held in the private “Garden Room” at Café Milano, a Georgetown institution whose catchphrase is: “Where the world’s most powerful people go.”

The guest list included a diverse number of influential and connected individuals. It included Russian billionaire Yelena Baturina and her husband, deceased former Moscow mayor Yury Luzhkov. In 2014 Baturina wired $3.5 million to an investment firm co-founded by Hunter Biden and Devon Archer. The list also included a Mexican ambassador, a former adviser to Secretary of State John Kerry, three officials from Kazakhstan, Burisma executive Vadym Pozharskyi and representatives of World Food Program USA.

The reps from the World Food Program USA were a ruse to obfuscate the true purpose of the dinner — to introduce Biden senior to his business associates.

Hunter told guests before the dinner that his father would be attending. In one email, he appears to use his role on the board of World Food Program USA as a cover story for the evening’s true purpose of introducing his father to his business associates.

“Ok – the reason for the dinner is ostensibly to discuss food security,” writes Hunter on March 26 to Michael Karloutsos, son of the then-head of the Greek Orthodox Church.

“Dad will be there but keep that between us for now. Thanks.”

Karloutsos replies: “Everything is between us. All good‎! … I know you mentioned your dad would probably join the dinner as well.”

On April 17, 2015—the next day—Vadym Pozharskyi emailed Hunter, thanking him for introducing him to VP Biden.

“Dear Hunter, thank you for inviting me to DC and giving an opportunity to meet your father and spent [sic] some time together,” Pozharskyi wrote on April 17, 2015. It’s realty [sic] an honor and pleasure.”

At the time, Burisma was paying Hunter $83,333 a month to sit on its board.

To say that the smoking gun emails raise serious questions about “what Joe Biden, who has claimed ignorance of his son’s activities, knew about Hunter’s dealings with foreign businesses and government officials,” is an understatement.

If this were Trump instead of Biden, the Left would be loudly demanding impeachment. But what do we get from Washington D.C., the White House, or the U.S. media?

Crickets.

The Leftist media conspired to keep that information away from you and me because it threatened their plans to defeat Orange Man Bad and install the corrupt idiot currently in the White House. The same media that pushed the fake Russia! Russia! Russia! collusion for four years and shrieked hysterically at everything Trump did or said kept hidden from the public vital information shining a light on the snakes Dementia Joe and his son are.

That’s the true collusion that threatens our republic.

Have a good weekend.

Wednesday and it’s Cinco de Mayo. I’m sure that someone out there thinks I shouldn’t mention it because that’s “cultural appropriation,” or something, but I live in the United States of America and I’m not appropriating it, I’m recognizing it.

In the wake of the mass shooting in Indianapolis last month, Resident Biden lashed out against gun violence after eight people were killed at a FedEx warehouse by a former FedEx employee. Here’s what he said:

And I strongly, strongly urge my Republican friends in the Congress, who refuse to bring up the House passed bill, to bring it up now. This has to end. It’s a national embarrassment. It is a national embarrassment, what’s going on. And it’s not only these mass shootings that are occurring every single day. Every single day, there’s a mass shooting this year in the United States if you count all those who were killed out on the streets of our cities and our rural areas. It’s a national embarrassment and must come to an end.

The folks who own weapons, the folks who own guns, they support universal background checks. A majority of them think we should not be selling assault weapons. Who in God’s name needs a weapon that can hold 100 rounds, or 40 rounds, or 20 rounds? It’s just wrong. And I’m not going to give up until it’s done.

I agree that the number of people killed by guns in the United States is a “national embarrassment.” I think it’s embarrassing that a nation founded on Judeo-Christian principles and given the chance to govern themselves through self-control and belief in the inherent dignity of their fellow man has completely blown their opportunity.

The problem is not guns. It’s not “easy access” or “loopholes” in the laws. The problem is the human heart. By and large, the country has thrown God out of the public square and it shows. As John Adams wrote in a letter to the Massachusetts Militia in 1798, “Because We have no Government armed with Power capable of contending with human Passions unbridled by morality and Religion. Avarice, Ambition, Revenge or Galantry, would break the strongest Cords of our Constitution as a Whale goes through a Net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.“

I bring this up because yesterday we learned that U.S. firearms sales rose for the thirteenth straight month in April, according to The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF). “In April this year, 1.694 million background checks took place, a 0.9% increase over April 2020, according to the NSSF’s adjusted data. The data also shows there was a 21.1% increase in unadjusted NICS numbers, compared to April 2020.”

One of the greatest increases in gun ownership has been among black Americans, which is up 58.2%.

The reasons for the continued spike in gun sales are pretty obvious. It doesn’t take a genius to watch the Burning Looting and Murdering over the last year as the anarchists ran wild in multiple cities or to realize that the junior commies in government want to take your guns away.

“Americans are buying firearms for concerns for personal safety and for White House and Congressional efforts to limit and deny the ability to purchase certain firearms,” NSSF’s Director of Public Affairs, Mark Oliva, said in a statement. “The continued gun control statements by President Biden, many of which have been fact-checked and debunked as false, are driving sales.”

So it’s clear that people hear Biden, but aren’t listening to what he’s saying. In spite of his adamant denunciation of gun violence and his promise to curb the violence, people recognize that in a culture that is demonizing the police, they may have to be their own first responder. And if they’re going to be their own first responder, they better get a gun now before the government finds a way to severely restrict having one.

The greatest danger, however, is that should guns be outlawed or severely restricted, the government then has no meaningful resistance to whatever malevolent plans they have for We the People. To answer Biden’s question, “Who in God’s name needs a weapon that can hold 100 rounds, or 40 rounds, or 20 rounds?”—We the People, do. To prevent you and your minions from putting us all in reeducation camps.

Daily Broadside | Biden Tells Country That White Supremacists Are ‘Most Lethal Terrorist Threat’

Daily Verse | 1 Chronicles 29:14
“Everything comes from you, and we have given you only what comes from your hand.”

A very happy Thursday to you, Broadsiders. Ignorance is something I don’t understand.

Can you believe that today is the 100th day that Resident Biden has been in the White House? It’s been one hundred days of radical malfeasance, lies and misdirection. And last night the Resident himself stepped up to the mic and gave a glowing report on the state of the “union.”

It was an odd event given that the chamber wasn’t even half full, and those who were in view of the cameras were social distancing with masks in place and giving each other knuckles and elbows in greeting. If I was there, I’d be giving knuckles and elbows, too, but not in greeting.

There was the historic seating of two women behind the Resident as he gave his speech, the first time in U.S. history that has happened. It’s just too bad that it was these two anti-Americans that held the seats.

Honestly, it had all the feel of a reunion of an iconic rock group you used to love, like The Who or The Rolling Stones, but in a mausoleum. You want it to live up to the hype and grandeur of what you remember, but it’s all just going through the motions and the players can’t deliver like they used to.

It just seemed like a lot of empty theater.

So what did Biden say? Well, it wasn’t so much a “State of the Union” speech as much as it was an “A List of All the Spending I Want to Do to Wreck the Country So Get the Bill to My Desk” speech. His theme was “Crisis and Opportunity.” He painted us as a country in crisis when he took the oath of office and now “America is on the move again” — whatever that means.

Biden touched on everything from the Chinese Lung Pox to eliminating child poverty to job creation to health care to bringing home our troops to white supremacy to gun violence to racism to the right to vote. In every case it meant taking more money while promising not to burden the middle class with more taxes.

He started off making an absurd claim that the Capitol Hill breach on January 6 was “the worst attack on our democracy since the civil war.”

I’d point out that the protesters were allowed in by the Capitol Police, they were unarmed and the only person killed as a result of violence was an unarmed Trump supporter who was summarily executed with a bullet to the neck by a still-unnamed Capitol Police officer. Biden called it an “insurrection,” which it clearly wasn’t. Not to mention all the lies about Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick’s death, which was hyped as the result of a thrown fire extinguisher when in fact he suffered two strokes and died of natural causes a day later.

As Tyler O’Neil points out, “The Capitol rioters did break into the U.S. Capitol and vandalize it, stealing Nancy Pelosi’s rostrum. However, they did not kill anyone or stop the certification of the Electoral College vote in the 2020 presidential election.” It seems to have been a mixture of antifa agitators, Trump supporters and right wing agitators. On the other hand, how many thousands of anarchists raged through multiple cities over the last year, burning police stations and federal court buildings without being labeled extremists?

The moment causing me the most cringe was when he talked about the American Jobs Plan that includes building highways and bridges and railroads and he announced that Value Pick Harris would lead the effort. You mean the same VP Harris that you put in charge of controlling the border that’s really not under control?

Cue cynical, disbelieving laugh.

The worst of it all — besides the unfettered spending and intrusion of government into the lives of our children by suggesting that there be “free” pre-school education and another “free” two years of college after your standard 12 years of education for a total of 14 years of indoctrination — was when Biden said that white supremacy was now the greatest terrorist threat to the United States.

And, we won’t ignore what our own intelligence agencies have determined – the most lethal terrorist threat to the homeland today is from white supremacist terrorism.

Really? Exactly what does that phrase, “white supremacist terrorism,” mean? He didn’t define it and as a category, it’s rather vague. White supremacy means what, exactly? The Proud Boys? The KKK? White Evangelical Christians? Normal Americans who think the election was fraudulent?

And “terrorism.” Exactly what evidence do you have that such political violence is “the most lethal threat” to the our country? Show us the events, the body count and the massive plans you’re disrupting from these “white supremacists.”

This is part of a campaign to smear white, patriotic conservative Americans as a threat. Yes, there are white supremacists and yes, they occasionally commit some sort of crime. But they do not have the numbers to materially disrupt our safety and security. Therefore, that vague term, “white supremacist terrorism,” will be used to classify anyone who disputes or disagrees with the direction we’re headed.

Biden’s speech was mendacious, amounting to little more than a wish list that will take more money and more power from the people and transfer it to the government. It was a sad affair and makes me long for the day Resident Biden moves out.
