Modern left-wing activism in the United States has roots in the Soviet Union's 1960s strategy to undermine Western culture. By promoting divisive ideologies and fostering internal dissent, the Soviets aimed to weaken the societal fabric from within, creating a legacy that continues to influence today’s political landscape.
Over the decades, these tactics evolved and merged with neo-communist strategies for infiltration. This resulted in a robust network of activist groups and organizations at both local and national levels. Initially designed to destabilize Western norms, these groups adapted to the changing political landscape, maintaining their relevance and influence. //
The foundation of left-wing activism in the United States can be traced back to a deliberate strategy orchestrated by the Soviet Union in the 1960s. This plan was aimed at undermining Western culture and destabilizing American society by promoting divisive ideologies and fostering internal dissent. The Soviets knew that to weaken the Western world, they needed to create discord from within, leading to a systematic effort to infiltrate various aspects of American life.
After the end of the Cold War, many leftists aligned with the Communist Party of the Soviet Union shifted their focus to the "green" movement. This shift was marked by Gorbachev's founding of the Green Cross, proving that the "green" movement was always a communist front.
The Soviet strategy aimed not only to spread communism but also to create a lasting legacy that would continue to influence and disrupt Western culture. By embedding operatives and sympathizers within influential institutions, the Soviets set the stage for long-term subversion. This approach, often referred to as the "Long March Through the Institutions," involved systematically infiltrating and gaining control of key societal structures, such as education, media, and non-profit organizations.

CNN’s Donie O’Sullivan explores why many MAGA Republicans are claiming that America is a republic, not a democracy.
9:34 PM · Jun 13, 2024 //
Applebaum even tried to claim there wasn't much difference between the terms "republic" and "democracy."
The Founders specifically rejected a pure democracy or direct democracy because they were concerned about mob rule. They wanted to protect individual liberties and minorities, they wanted a rule of law that would endure and protect those rights. Hence, while we can be called a representative democracy because the people elect their representatives -- it is more accurate and specific to say a Constitutional Republic. That difference is very significant because while in a pure democracy, mob rule could take away your rights, in a Constitutional Republic, you have checks from the courts who will uphold the rule of law and protect individual liberties.
Indeed, if we just had a pure democracy, politicians would only ever reach out to the most populous states and urban areas and completely ignore the smaller states in order to win elections because that's all they would need to do to hold control. But with things like the Electoral College, we ensure some greater balance. Those are just a couple of reasons why what we have is far superior to a pure democracy. //
Applebaum even tried to claim there wasn't much difference between the terms "republic" and "democracy." //
Here's what it says in the Constitution.
Article IV, Section 4: The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.
Here's a good Prager University breakdown of the basic difference. https://youtu.be/wbsfpeMELGE //
The better question is, why do Democrats seem to want to deem America a democracy and downplay or ignore the "Constitutional Republic" that we are? Are they just ignorant, or do they not know the difference? Or is there some more problematic movement going on here? //
If Democrats succeed in getting rid of the Electoral College, they can completely skip Middle America and pitch to their base in New York and California. They can ignore those people Hillary termed "a basket deplorables," and Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) tried to term an "immoral majority." Then so much for the interests of the other, smaller states.
But if kids are not taught the nature of our government, they will not know that we have these protections like the Electoral College or what they are about. They will be more easily bamboozled and untethered and more easily seduced into apostasies like Communism instead of celebrating the rule of law, which is what makes our nation special.
If they just hear "democracy," they won't understand we are so much more than that. Democrats appear to want to make us much less. //

But the funny thing was her claiming the production of her own words was "revisionist history."
In a manner of speaking, she's right; it does revise and help undermine the Democratic narrative. But she can't blame her own words on the GOP or Trump. She's the one admitting it, on video taken by her own daughter. //

Then, too, Sund pointed out in Congressional testimony that Pelosi had, in fact, spoken to him that day contrary to what she claimed after Jan. 6. So he's saying what Pelosi said about that day wasn't true. //

The genie is out of the bottle, and it's not up to Republicans to unilaterally shove it back in. Make Democrats suffer under the new rules they set until they beg for mercy, and when Joe Biden walks out of the White House, he should be immediately prosecuted for illegally retaining classified documents, among other alleged crimes.
There is no option to play nice anymore. Republicans tried to keep things within the lines. Democrats stepped over them for what they feel will be cheap political gain. Forget the crying. That's not going to help anything. Make them pay, and make them pay hard. Any Republican not willing to do that doesn't deserve to be in office. //

i dont think there are very many Republicans who have any clue what they are dealing with on the left, at all.
"Counterrevolution and conservatism have little in common. In the struggle against Communism the conservative is all but helpless. For that struggle cannot be fought, much less won, or even understood, except in terms of total sacrifice. And the conservative is suspicious of sacrifice; he wishes first to conserve, above all what he is, and what he has. You cannot fight against revolutions so."
- Whittaker Chambers "Witness" (Cold War Classics)
Conservatives are all but helpless. They lack the discipline, the self-sacrifice, indeed the courage. It is hard even for conservatives to even remember Chamber's admonition that they face an enemy having no moral viewpoint in common with themselves whatsoever.
This is your wakeup call.
As Alito has famously said in the past, Congress did not create the Supreme Court, the Constitution did. It is not any Democrat hack's job to "fix" the court, and certainly, no one in Congress has the credibility to do absolutely anything regarding it.
"Fixing" it isn't the real purpose of the current left-wing hysteria, though. The real purpose is to garner more power.

These are events that took place three and a half years ago. This indictment could have been brought three years ago, or two years ago. There is a reason why it is being brought right now. It is to freeze the Arizona Republican Party so that they cannot organize themselves to win that Senate seat. //
Proft (05:30):
So then, we should expect since Dana Nessel, the AG of Michigan, has a similar investigation ongoing. We should expect that indictment maybe right after Labor Day?
WAJ (05:40):
Oh, yeah. I mean, that’s what’s going on this year. All of these Trump indictments, with the exception of the Mar-a-Lago one, where the events took place later, all of these lawsuits, criminal prosecutions are regarding events that took place over three years ago. They are brought so that the trials will take place in this election year, including the one that’s ongoing now in Manhattan, [which] involves events six or seven years ago. //
Going to the merits of it. the claim is that there was a fraud perpetrated on the Congress and the public regarding the Arizona election. The problem with that, is that there was no deception. No one was deceived…
This took place in plain sight. It was in the media. People were on TV. //
Proft (09:35):
Well, it’s more than freezing. What they’re really going to do is now they’ve got this indictment, and now they’re going to run tens of millions of dollars of ads saying the Arizona Republican party leadership has been indicted for trying to steal the 2020 election. //
So I say that as somebody who disagreed with John Eastman at the time, on the record. But you know, they have not only criminalized politics, they have now criminalized lawyering if you’re a Republican lawyer.
So people make aggressive arguments in court all the time. People make arguments for the extension of the law. I think Eastman’s argument was wrong. I don’t think it rose to such a frivolous level that you should lose your Bar license over it. //
There is a group, I think they’re called the 65 Group or something like that, which is going around the country trying to get Republican lawyers disbarred. They have weaponized not just the Democrat prosecutorial offices, they are now weaponizing Bar counsel and they’re now weaponizing the disciplinary process. And they have said explicitly, they advertise it, that they want to make Republican lawyers toxic in their communities.
So people need to wake up. What’s going on in this country is really totalitarian, and it is an attempt to not enforce the rule of law, but to destroy the rule of law and to prevent Republicans from ever mounting an election challenge again. What Republican lawyer, if there is an alleged fraud in the next election, is going to dare to raise legal arguments against it knowing that John Eastman has now been disbarred for that? //

Procedural Wrangling
Cruz asked for a roll call vote on his motion. That vote failed 51-49 (along party lines).
Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) then made a motion to adjourn immediately until noon on Tuesday, April 30. That also resulted in a roll call vote, which, again, failed 51-49 along party lines.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) then rose to reiterate the purpose of an impeachment trial and moved to table Schumer's point of order. Resulting in a third roll call vote with the same vote breakdown. //
The roll call vote on Lee's motion also went down 51-49. //
Scott's motion was defeated in a 51-49 roll call vote. //
Kennedy's second motion was shot down 51-49. //
Senator Roger Marshall (R-KS) then moved to adjourn until November 6, 2024, to "allow the American people" to have a say in it. As one might expect, this motion, too, was defeated 51-49. //
Kennedy then moved to go into executive session before establishing a "breathtaking precedent." Again, the motion failed 51-49.
Minority Whip John Thune (R-SD) then rose and moved to table Schumer's point of order (as to Article II). The motion went down 51-49. //
Murray confirmed that they would indeed establish impeachment precedent.
Finally, a vote was held on Schumer's second point of order (to dismiss Article II). That vote, like all the others, was a party-line split, with 51 Democrats voting in favor of it, 49 Republicans. The result? Article II of the impeachment was ruled unconstitutional and dismissed. Schumer then moved to adjourn, which, of course, passed...51-49.
And the impeachment of Alejandro Mayorkas went down without a trial. //
Closing Argument
... the Republicans always knew this would never go anywhere due to the Senate majority, but rather than give the Democrats a chance to look like they played fair and gave the Republicans some say in it, they're just blowing it up upfront, so that they can point out that the Democrats are shredding the Constitution, or, as Schmitt put it, "setting our Constitution ablaze and bulldozing 200 years of precedent."
Further, I suspect the points made by Wicker and Kennedy regarding lying to Congress (a felony) not constituting a high crime and misdemeanor under the precedent the Democrats have now set by dismissing Article II of the impeachment without holding a trial will come back to bite the Democrats ... //

McConnell speaking on impeachment trial of Mayorkas: 'Tabling articles of impeachment would be unprecedented in the history of the Senate. It's a simple as that.'
11:58 AM · Apr 17, 2024 //
Madame President, the Senate just swore an oath to do impartial justice according to the Constitution and the laws of our country. We swore to discharge a duty that is quite different from our normal work. As a court of impeachment, we are called not to speak, not to debate, but to listen — both to the case against the accused and to his defense.
At this point in any trial in the country, the prosecution presents the evidence of the case, counsel for the defense does the same, and the jury remains silent as it listens. This is what our rules require of us as well. But the Senate has not had the opportunity to perform this duty. The Senate will not hear the House Managers present the details of their case against Secretary Mayorkas — that he willingly neglected the duties of his office and that he lied to Congress about the extent of that failure. Likewise, we will not hear the secretary's representatives present the vigorous defense to which he is entitled.
...
This process must not be abused; it must not be short-circuited. History will not judge this moment well. //

The Senate trial of Mayorkas would have established each Democrat running for reelection as a supporter of massive illegal immigration when he/she voted to acquit. Schumer upended 227 years of precedent and the Constitution of the United States to avoid that. However, each Democrat Senator's vote is on record as supporting massive illegal immigration by torpedoing the Mayorkas impeachment trial. The Republican Senate campaign ads still have the Democrat's vote on record. Job done. Nice try, Schumer. Nice work, Speaker Johnson.
Article II accuses him of knowingly making false statements.
This is a violation of 18 USC Section 1001, a felony offense. If this is not a high crime and misdemeanor, what is? If this is not impeachable, what is? What precedent will we be setting? We need to address this, we need to discuss it in closed session.
For that reason, Madam President, I move that the Senate proceed with closed session to allow for deliberation on this very consequential point of order that he's just made that violates hundreds of years of Anglo-American legal precedent and understanding, on the question required by impeachment rule 24.

After 35 years, the consent decree that prohibited the Republican National Committee (RNC) from engaging in ballot security activities wasterminated by a federal judge. RNLA Chair John Ryder, former General Counsel to the RNC, stated:
Yesterday, the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey ended the consent decree that had banned the Republican National Committee from engaging in activities to ensure that elections are open, fair, and honest since 1982. Despite years and much money spent searching for evidence of Republican voter suppression, the Democratic National Committee could not present evidence to the court sufficient for the consent decree to remain in effect. We applaud the fact that the RNC may now, on the same, lawful, non-discriminatory basis as other political organizations, ensure that every eligible voter is able to vote and that the votes of ineligible voters are not counted. //
While the consent decree has been in effect, other Republican organizations, such as the RNLA, NRCC, NRSC, Republican state parties, and other groups, have worked to ensure that elections are open, fair, and honest. As Mr. Ryder noted, we look forward to a new era where the RNC can, if it so chooses, be a part of this effort to protect the right to vote of every eligible voter.

Matt Taibbi was asked “why doesn’t he pay much attention to the sins (or threats) from “the right”?”
He gave a great answer:
Why I don’t spend a lot of time on the Republicans:
1) There is a enormous army of MSM reporters already going after them from every angle, with most major news organizations little more than proxies for the DNC, to the point where stations hire Biden spokespeople as anchors;
2) The Republicans have very little institutional power nationally. It’s not their point of view prevailing in schools, on campuses, in newsrooms (where over 90% of working reporters vote blue), and especially in the intelligence and military apparatus, which has openly aligned itself with Democrats. Even if Donald Trump were a “threat to Democracy” he lacks the institutional pull to do much damage, which can’t be said of Democrats;
3) The Democrats’ ambitions are significantly more dangerous than those of the Republicans. From digital surveillance to censorship to making Intel and enforcement agencies central players in domestic governance — all plans being executed globally as well as in our one country — they are thinking on a much bigger and more dangerous scale than Republicans. I lived in third world countries and the endless criminal indictments of people like Trump and ongoing lawfare efforts to prevent even third party challenges are classic authoritarian symptoms. The Republicans aren’t near this kind of capability;
4) Last and most important, the Democrats are being organized around a more potent but also much dumber, more cultlike ideology. People like Yuval Harari and his Transhumanist “divinity” concept scare me a lot more than the Rs, and I was once undercover in an apocalyptic church in Texas. Ask your average Russian or Cuban what overempowered pseudo-intellectuals are capable of.
I have a pretty good record of picking dangerous phenomena ahead of time. I feel confident on this one, and that’s before we get to the demographic/class shifts in the parties.
And Democrats made it so. //
“To make Israel a partisan issue only hurts Israel and the US-Israeli relationship,” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer had the temerity to say only days after demanding the Jewish state’s duly elected government be toppled.
Schumer was responding to Donald Trump’s hyperbolic contention that Jews who vote for Democrats “hate Israel” and their religion. And to be fair, Trump isn’t exactly right.
Democrats are more inclined to whine about AIPAC’s milquetoast press releases than they are to bring up the fact that Iranian assets are working in the Pentagon.
The only party clamoring to save Hamas right now is the Democrat Party. Biden claims he continues to “affirm that Israel has a right to go after Hamas” but also wants a ceasefire. Those positions are in direct conflict, as the president accidentally admitted in an interview last week. Hamas, Biden told MSNBC, wanted a ceasefire to “survive” and “rebuild.” A ceasefire now, when Israel is at the cusp of eliminating the terror group, is a pro-Hamas position. //
Unlike Obama, Biden is not driven by ideological motivations. He’s just a weak, feckless man devoid of any real principles. Privately, for instance, Biden allegedly told Netanyahu that he is not trying to oust him. Which, if true, means he is only doing so publicly to placate his pro-terror wing.
How is this not a partisan issue?

American Jews have had best friends in 3 US presidents:
1) George Washington.
He wrote a letter to the Hebrew Congregation of Rhode Island, saying, among other things:
“May the children of the stock of Abraham who dwell in this land continue to merit and enjoy the good will of the other inhabitants—while every one shall sit in safety under his own vine and fig tree and there shall be none to make him afraid.”
Basically, he welcomed the Jewish people to this great country.
2) Thomas Jefferson.
His was one of the few voices in the early republic fervently championing equal political rights for Jews. Jefferson’s Bill for Establishing Religious Freedom in Virginia is a classic American statement of religious toleration.
After the Revolution he wrote a Jewish physician to say:
“Religious freedom is the most effectual anodyne against religious dissension.” Jefferson said he was delighted to see American Jews assuming full social rights and hoped “they will be seen taking their seats on the benches of science as preparatory to their doing the same at the board of government.”
3) Donald Trump.
In his first month in office Trump set about to accomplish the Abraham Accords — specifically taking the Palestinian lynchpin out of the equation and making US aid and support to countries like Saudi Arabia and UAE conditional upon relations with Israel.
In 2019 President Trump signed an executive order that broadened Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act to apply to discrimination based on anti-Semitism.
None of the networks carried it. Most Jews don’t even know about it.
In 2017, during his first year in office, Trump recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, helping fulfill a 2000 year old dream for world Jewry.
Trump is also the first and only US president to have Jewish children and grandchildren, and the first to have a rabbi do the benediction at his inauguration.
The list of what Trump has done for the Jewish people goes on and on. You would think American Jewry, including the so-called political leaders like Schumer, Schiff, Nadler, and their ilk would recognize this and be grateful.
It’s time for American Jews to wake up and see reality. The Dems no longer are our friends. But Donald Trump has been a very loyal one.

It wasn't until midway through that context was given - which undercut what she was suggesting (that Robinson would prefer women couldn't vote):
During this event, Robinson, who was running for lieutenant governor at the time, recalled someone recently asking conservative activist Candace Owens to pick which version of America would make America “great again,” one where “Black people were swinging from cheap trees” or one where women weren’t allowed to vote.
Robinson said he would definitely return to the days in America when women were denied the right to vote “because in those days we had people who fought for real social change, and they were called Republicans.”
While that last quote contains part of the story, it doesn't give all of it. In the sentence immediately after he said "and they were called Republicans," Robinson said "And they are the reason why women can vote today." //

Dan Bongino responded to this several times on X today, asking liberals why they are so racist, and why they have such vitriol for black people, and especially those who are Republicans.
The answer is, they can't help it. The Democrats have a long history of racism, and it's never gone away. And it's just as pronounced today as it was pre- and post-Civil War, during the Jim Crow and lynching eras, and as well as during their fights to keep integration from happening and destroying the black society with the "Great" Society.
We should never, EVER let them forget that, and we should always remind black Americans that Democrats are still the slave-master party. The party leaders will do nothing to help them out of poverty, but just "promise" to help them while simultaneously keep black Americans from ever prospering. //
