It will soon become clear that the Biden-Garland-establishment has engaged in criminality that makes Watergate look like kindergarten

 The scandal that's hit America and will be bigger than Watergate ; Newt Gingrich

Compare the shock of Democrats and Republicans in the Watergate era with the staunch unwillingness of virtually any Democrat to go after the Biden family scandals – or to be infuriated at the blatant abuses of power and obstructions of justice.

. . ."Mitchell is an extremely important parallel to the current disaster, because Attorney General Merrick Garland seems to be doing a lot more obstructing of justice than Mitchell ever dreamed of doing. Garland’s Justice Department reportedly instructed the IRS to disband the unit investigating Hunter Biden’s taxes. ". . .

Can democracy be saved? -Fear the quality of the voters.

  American Thinker  "Elections matter.  But just as important is the quality of the electorate.  One of my long-time and wise colleagues who has passed on, Professor Bertram Levin, some years ago pointed out to me the irony that a democracy can destroy itself by voting itself into communism.  Chicago, a beautiful and once vibrant city, has proven the point.  Brandon Johnson, the new mayor, is an avowed communist.  His recent characterization of businesses as evil profit-mongers is sure to accelerate Chicago's death spiral as businesses flee the city.  Johnson should not be blamed; the electorate should.

"The quality of the electorate can have profound effects on society.  Argentina, one of the highest-income countries in the world in 1900, changed its voting rules early in the 20th century.  The new voters had grandiose progressive ideas to redistribute wealth.  Argentina became a third-world country and continues to suffer today. 

"Many democracies in the 20th century extended the franchise to women, making their societies more inclusive and kinder, gentler nations.  So changes in voting can have good as well as bad effects on a nation's well-being.

"The latest attempts to expand the electorate, both here and abroad, are proposals to lower the voting age.  This raises the question concerning the optimal age.  Recently, youths have received negative press from looting and shooting in major cities.  Mass shootings are now commonplace among people 21 or younger.  Most recently, on April 15, 2023, in Dadeville, Alabama, a 16- and a 17-year-old shot up a "sweet sixteen" party, leaving four dead and 32 others injured.". . .

Victor Davis Hanson: The Left has pushed the envelope (msn.com)

"The Left is waging a full-fledged cultural revolution against traditional America. And the Maoist results are often as absurd as they are terrifying.

"Special-counsel John Durham just issued his final report on wrongdoing within the FBI, CIA, and the Department of Justice.

"The summary confirms that our premier investigatory and intelligence agencies interfered in the 2016 and 2020 presidential campaigns.

"Directors and high-ranking FBI officials lied under oath. They misled Congress. They altered court documents and deceived federal judges.

"The FBI hired a foreign national to gather dirt on Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign – while he was being paid by the rival Hillary Clinton campaign.

"The FBI contracted Twitter to suppress news stories. It kept the Hunter Biden laptop under wraps, even as former intelligence officials flat out lied it was likely “Russian disinformation.” That was a blatant effort to aid the 2020 Biden campaign.". . .

New York Mayor Unveils Plan to Fight Retail Theft — with ‘Kiosks’ (msn.com)

"Mayor Eric Adams recently unveiled a plan to combat rising retail theft in New York City that will include “diversion programs” for non-violent offenders, training retail workers in de-escalation, and “resource kiosks” in stores.

"His administration will also create a repeat offender program to keep track of recidivism and facilitate stronger prosecutions by the five district attorneys’ offices, establish a retail watch for businesses neighboring each other, and establish a retail theft task force, according to a press release." . . .

“Shoplifters and organized crime rings prey on businesses that have already taken a hit due to COVID-19, but, with this comprehensive plan, we’re going to beat back on retail theft through a combination of law enforcement, prevention, and intervention,” Adams said. “Last year alone, 327 repeat offenders were responsible for 30 percent of the more than 22,000 retail thefts across our city. This hurt our businesses, our workers, our customers, and our city.”. . .

Biden’s Drag Queen Navy - Say goodbye to patriotism, tradition, and pride inside our armed forces.

Biden is carrying through the destruction of our military’s pride in itself and its culture. That would not be of great concern except that the military’s culture is what makes it effective in war and a deterrent to our enemies in peacetime.

 The American Spectator | USA News and Politics   Anheuser-Busch, the beer manufacturer, has suffered a huge self-inflicted wound by employing transgender “woman” Dylan Mulvaney as a brand ambassador for Bud Lite.

"Anheuser-Busch has put the female vice president of marketing who thought up the Mulvaney campaign on a presumably permanent leave of absence and fired the ad agency that helped her do it. Anheuser-Busch has reportedly lost about $6 billion in market value and as much as 20 percent of its market share.

"That loss of market share and the reduced revenue that accompany it have been enough to bring Anheuser-Busch back to reality and make the company remember that its primary mission is to brew good beer. Unfortunately for our national security, there are no market protections against President Joe Biden’s political agenda, which is destroying the readiness and lethality of our military.

"Anheuser-Busch’s transgender mess came late to the party. From October 2022 to March 2023, the U.S. Navy made an active-duty drag queen one of its “digital ambassadors” to help recruit new sailors, which we’ll get back to in a moment.

"Back in the olden days of the 1990s, the military had a culture unto itself, defined by patriotism, tradition, and pride. Young men and women join the military for any number of reasons. Some do it to satisfy family tradition. Some join simply out of patriotism. Some join to get a job or to get away from their family and friends. Some join to earn GI Bill benefits, which is the only way they can go to college.

"Two vignettes: My late great friend, former U.S. Navy SEAL Al Clark, once told me that he wanted to become a SEAL because it was the toughest group with the toughest training regimen. About 20 years ago, I was privileged to visit the John F. Kennedy Army Special Forces school at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, for its Special Forces Robin Sage graduation exercise. When I talked to the Green Beret applicants, their most common refrain was that, after the 9/11 attacks, all they wanted to do was get a piece of the bad guys.

"When people serve in the military, they have great pride in what they do. It may be something like what the special forces do, which nobody else can. It may take enormous skill like flying — or repairing — a fighter aircraft. The pride may simply be from being a part of something bigger than yourself.". . .
