Here sits the American people, most doubtless blissfully unaware that were Democrats and the larger American Left to get their way in opposing President Trump and Elon Musk, their Social Security benefits would, in fact, be in trouble down the road.
The New York Post headlines: “Anti-Trump protesters descend on DC to rally against Musk’s DOGE cuts, new tariffs: ‘Let’s keep them afraid!’”
"These stories were all over the media. The NY Post version reports:
Tens of thousands of protesters descended on D.C. Saturday as part of nationwide “Hands Off!” rallies against spending cuts from Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency and President Trump’s new “Liberation Day” tariffs — with one speaker calling on the crowd to make the two men “afraid.”
The huge crowd assembled with homemade — and in many cases vulgar — anti-Republican signs near the Washington Monument while similar events unfolded in New York City, Los Angeles and Philadelphia.
“Trump and Musk, who want to be dictators and want to be kings and lords, they are afraid of the power of love and truth and justice!” declared activist minister William Barber II, who was one of the first speakers at the D.C. event.
“ 'They are afraid of your unity and diversity. Well, let’s keep them afraid until they change,” he roared. “This is an outright battle for civilization! We are not going to bow to power drunk neofascist extremists.”
"Unsurprisingly, the “Hands Off” groups have it exactly backwards. (And they were here in my area of Harrisburg, Penn., on the steps of the State Capitol.)
"Now, as has been true throughout a good bit of American history, it is the Left that is in reality “power drunk neofascist extremists.” The “activist minister” quoted in that Post is a longtime Leftist, William Barber II.
"Protest, of course, is an all-American and decidedly cherished First Amendment value. So no problem there.
"But to protest means that the subject of the protest should be examined, and examined closely. And in this case, the “Hands Off” crowd has it exactly backwards.
"Here’s a fact. A hard fact." . . .
Cheered on and led by the likes of Jamie Raskin, Eric Swalwell, and Corey Booker plus others. Congress's "best and brightest" are what we all need, yet we get these shallow, uninformed demagogues. Pray for Israel. TD
