Indifferent Citizens Are No Better Than the Corrupt Government They Detest -

 Intellectual Takeout   . . .

Emphases in the original

. . ."It means that, when we elect men to public office we cannot do it as lightly as we flip a coin. It means that after we’ve elected them we can’t sit back and say, ‘Our job is done. What they do now doesn’t concern us.’ 

That philosophy of indifference is what the enemies of decent government want. If we allow them to have their way to grow strong and vicious, then the heroic struggle which welded thousands of lovely towns like this into a great nation means nothing. Then we’re not citizens, we’re traitors!

The great liberties by which we live have been bought with blood. The kind of government we get, is the kind of government we want. Government of the people, by the people, and for the people can mean ANY kind of government. It’s our duty to make it be only ONE kind: uncorrupted, free, united! [Emphasis added.]

Leo Dee undermines cause by saying he's got "no hatred" for terrorists who murdered daughters and wife

 Leo Dee undermines cause by saying he's got "no hatred" for terrorists who murdered daughters and wife (ibloga.blogspot.com)   "The British-Israeli rabbi whose 2 daughters and wife were tragically murdered earlier this month by jihadists around the Jordan Valley has made a very bizarre and undermining statement about the jihadists themselves:

The Israeli-British rabbi whose wife and two daughters were killed this month in a terror shooting on a West Bank road said he has “no hatred” for the people who gunned down his family, in comments aired on Sunday.

Lucy Dee, 48, and her daughters Maia Dee, 20, and Rina Dee, 15, were killed after Palestinian terrorists opened fire at the car they were in as they drove through the northern Jordan Valley on April 7. The daughters were declared dead at the scene, while Lucy was rushed to a hospital in critical condition but died three days later.

The suspects remain on the loose despite promises from officials that they will be found and brought to justice.. . .

. . ."What Dee should really be doing is condemning any and all dhimmis who minimize the murder of his family, including those who substitute the word "murder" with "killed". That kind of disturbing mentality and MSM mandates are exactly what enable these tragedies to occur. It's absolutely awful these murders occur. But it's also awful when relatives of the murdered women take the lenient positions Dee is. That really hurts the battle against Islamofascism."

Dhimmi:  A non-Muslim subject of a state governed according to the shari'a who is granted the freedom to worship and is entitled to the protection of life and property by the state, although constrained to pay a special tax and not granted the full legal status accorded to Muslim subjects. The status of dhimmi was originally limited to Christians and Jews but has occasionally been extended to Hindus, Zoroastrians, and others.

Joe Biden’s Three Stooges...Plus Hunter

 

Joe Biden’s Three Stooges - The American Spectator | USA News and Politics  . . ."Joe probably presides over the least distinguished cabinet in history. There is Kamala, who as vice president has had to shuffle and reshuffle her staff so many times that Washington insiders suspect COVID-19 is alive and well in her office. Why can she not keep staff members for more than a few weeks? There is Secretary of Homeland Security Mayorkas, who has appeared before congressional committees so often that he might well be suspected of being a subversive or a foreign agent. And, of course, there is Secretary Buttigieg, who, like all of these three modern-day stooges, has a dreadful time getting down to our southern border to see how things are going. Frankly, I sympathize with the secretary. What if he got kidnapped down there? What if the White House refused to pay his ransom?

"Why cannot Joe put together a cabinet of some distinction? Well, a cabinet of distinction would be difficult to put together for either party as things stand right now. There is a troubling problem facing both political parties. America is lacking in leadership. A few paragraphs ago, I mentioned Henry Kissinger. He is a man of stature. Now in his 99th year, he is still writing, thinking, and listening. But he is too old to lead. Maybe he could advise the leaders of at least one party, and that would be the Republicans. The Democrats already take their leadership from something called “woke.” As in “we done woke up.”

Biden is famous for his character and leadership

 American Thinker:

Biden is again pushing the white-on-black genocide myth - Andrea Widberg   "Earlier in April, a so-called “transgender man” went to a Christian school in Nashville and slaughtered six people, including (quite deliberately) three nine-year-olds. A couple of days ago, an 84-year-old man in Kansas City shot Ralph Yarl, a 16-year-old black teen who knocked on the wrong door. The White House responded very differently to these events. For the first, it sent Kamala Harris to support transgenderism and gun-grabbing. For the second, Biden invited Yarl to the White House. We know he did so to emphasize white-on-black killings. The problem is that it’s black-on-black killings that are the real plague in America’s black communities.". . .

Biden drives even Israel into China's arms - Monica Showalter  . . ."As the U.S. gets bogged down in Ukraine, and Russia aligns with China as both states win friends and influence around the world, Israel is pretty on its own now. The magnificent Abraham accords of President Trump's era, making peace for Israel and Saudi Arabia and a string of other nations after it, has been eclipsed by China's "peacemaking" between Saudi Arabia and Iran, freeing up the mullah-ruled state to focus its malevolence on tiny Israel alone. For Israel, its best option may be to move under China's wing so China can stop Iran.

If Marjorie Taylor Greene is accurate, what she says about Biden is mind-blowing - Andrea Widberg  . . ."It took a strong stomach to watch the videos and view the photographs on Hunter’s hard drive. They revealed a compulsively exhibitionistic man who couldn’t stop recording himself smoking crack, sniffing cocaine, and cavorting with prostitutes, some of whom looked as if they fell into the statutory rape category. Moreover, the laptop revealed that, when Hunter requested money from his Dad (the current Oval Office occupant) to fund this debauchery, Dad paid up.

What the laptop also revealed, despite Biden’s strenuous denials, is that Joe was involved in Hunter’s many business dealings. We know this because Hunter’s staffers, business partners, and prospects were all welcomed into Joe’s vice-presidential office.

Sarcasm alert: Donn Reeves:

So many more people love Sleepy over Trump due to his stellar handling of the economy, foreign and fiscal policy. Things couldn't be better. Economy is booming. Ukrainians are winning the war (or so we are told, and why this is good is beyond my pay grade) swimmingly. Mortgage rates are lower than under Carter's reign (17-18%). LOL. High food prices are transitory and will come down when...maybe Hell freezes over. The depletion of the strategic oil supply are keeping energy prices low. The minority population has never had it better. The alphabet people are doing their part being so tolerant towards some of us who don't believe in the depravity. Highways are racist. And the 11 killed and 26 wounded last weekend in Chicago was due to the hot weekend. LOL. Yup, we need another Biden term... well -- actually BO 3.0.

What Democrats have wrought:

Biden’s Susceptibility to Blackmail has Unleashed Domestic and International Chaos

Tellingly, Xi Jinping smugly watches Biden grovel before him, ignores his requests for talks and meetings and not so subtly reminds Biden that he has the dirt on him and will expose it if necessary.

Here's a good spot for the Springsteen endorsement. Naaa. 

 Steve McCann; American Thinker  "It has often been speculated what would happen to this nation if a decadently compromised president who willingly succumbed to extortion from both domestic and foreign interests were elected.  That possibility is no longer in the realm of speculation.  For the past 27 months the United States has experienced this devastating eventuality, as no president in this nation’s history has been as susceptible to domestic and international blackmail as Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. 

"Nonetheless, in their unbridled hubris, the Democrats' puppet masters turned to Joe Biden whom they could portray as a “moderate” in order to defeat Donald Trump.

"While Trump was in office this same cabal vociferously proclaimed that “A president openly susceptible to blackmail cannot serve.”   In a stunning example of hypocrisy, they chose the most susceptible president in American history.  However, they failed to understand that the Communist Chinese and Marxist penchant for using political blackmail to achieve their objectives would determine the fate of the country during his presidency. 

"The hubris of the American ruling class and venality on the part of Joe Biden has placed the United States in the position of being humiliated and extorted by the Chinese Communists, who have bribed his son, family and ultimately him.". . .

Staff Announcement About Biden Calling an Early 'Lid' Shows He's Getting Worse

 Staff Announcement About Biden Calling an Early 'Lid' Shows He's Getting Worse – RedState

"It’s both funny and frankly sad that they can’t defend what’s going on with Biden anymore. Indeed, I think they don’t even know what to say, which is why they don’t want him to do press conferences anymore. They just can’t explain or justify his issues. Unfortunately, it’s just going to keep getting worse."

"Biden couldn’t even answer a simple question from a child without help from Hunter. Then, even after it was explained, he went on to tell the audience of children a story about working with the late Sen. Jesse Helms (R-NC) that couldn’t possibly have been true given the time frame. He got confused as to where his office was and had a huge security breach while he was in Northern Ireland. He even managed to insult our British allies. And those were just a few of the crazy things that he said over the four days.

"But then when he got back from that vacation on Saturday, Biden flew back to his beach house in Delaware for the weekend for still more leisure time. I guess the Irish trip was so strenuous that he needed yet another getaway. When he said he was going to Delaware, he managed to insult his Interior Secretary with a weird comment about her not being from “anywhere.”

"So on Monday, you would think he would be well-rested and ready to get to work, right? Wrong.

"On Monday morning, his staff called an early lid at 9 a.m. — meaning, “don’t expect anything from him for the rest of the day.” He was worn out already, that early on Monday? That’s who we have in the office now, someone who spends 40 percent of his time on vacation and who can’t even get up for work anymore. It must be tough recovering from vacations and hanging out at the beach. As one Twitter user noted, perhaps all that “licking the world” that he talked about while in Ireland is a pretty tiring exercise.". . .

Can America be restored after Democrats have their way?

 

AfterMath

“This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can’t be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won’t be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.”

“But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.”  ~ Mike Vanderboegh @ The Last Refuge

Wealth redistribution schemes are disguised as green policies. Our retail shelves have in recent times looked like the bare counters of communist East Berlin. We’re told that we have to make do with less, and fewer choices are in our best interest. Our economy would be full-on GDR-ed if the Sanderses and Ocasio-Cortezes had their way.

“ 'And I think this might be the best path to safety in the sense that an AI that cares about understanding the universe is unlikely to annihilate humans because we are an interesting part of the universe,” he added."

Tim Kaine: It's OK For The FBI To Put Informants In Churches

 The Federalist

Almost Hillary's vice president until Trump won.

"Virginia Democrat Sen. Tim Kaine gave the FBI his approval to investigate Catholic parishes in his own state on Monday.

"When asked by a local ABC affiliate about the FBI’s Richmond division infiltrating Catholic communities to spy on the church for alleged extremism, Kaine called the revelations a misunderstanding.

“ 'I think the key is communication,” Kaine told ABC13. “If the FBI has a concern like that, then go to the church leaders and say, ‘Hey look, we have a concern and we don’t want your members to get unwittingly caught up in something.'”

"Former FBI Special Agent Kyle Seraphin blew the whistle on the agency’s Richmond office investigating the Catholic Church with undercover informants in February. The FBI, Seraphin wrote, “would like to protect Virginians from the threat of ‘white supremacy,’ which it believes has found a home within Catholics who prefer the Latin Mass.”

" 'The document assesses with ‘high confidence’ the FBI can mitigate the threat of Radical-Traditionalist Catholics by recruiting sources within the Catholic Church,” Seraphin warned.". . .

Nothing To Bragg About

"Ohio Republican Representative Jim Jordan, the House Judiciary Chairman, is facing a lawsuit from Alvin Bragg, the Manhattan District Attorney who vowed to ‘get Trump’ and is using law-fare to do it. 

"Bragg claimed Jordan is ‘intimidating and attacking’ his office’s case against President Trump. The 50-page lawsuit, which was filed earlier this week, is over three times longer than the filing against Trump. Bragg’s office must have been busy. He has no time to lock up real criminals, but instead he continues to engage in a political battle against Trump and other Republicans.

Title 42 stands between the U.S. and chaos at the border -

While the program can’t and shouldn’t remain in place indefinitely, right now it is protecting our southern border. Even the Biden Administration has admitted that once it expires, there will be a surge of illegals. 

 American Thinker  "Migrants have been masssing at the U.S.-Mexico border waiting for the Title 42 health program to expire on May 11. Why? Once it does, it will create an opportunity for the migrants to cross the border and get a toehold in the United States.

“There are thousands and thousands just waiting for Title 42 to end. I would say a fear is that the Biden admin has no clue just how bad it’s going to get. We can barely actively patrol the border now. When Title 42 ends, all of our resources, all of our little manpower that we do have, are going to be focused on processing. Field work will nearly cease to exist in my opinion,” a Customs and Border Patrol agent working along the southern border told the Daily Caller News Foundation. . . .

. . ."Meanwhile, the White House appears to be doing nothing to strengthen our border. When Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked what Vice President Kamala Harris is doing to address the “root cause” of mass migration to the southern border, which is something she has been put in charge of, Jean-Pierre said, “I don’t have anything to lay out specifically on what that work looks like.”
