I hate to tell you this, but we are at war. The enemy within has shown her hand.

There must be a genuine recognition, both on the part of the state and of the people, that our problems are a result of an excessive reliance upon government and our foolish faith in the ability of legislation to resolve flaws in the human character.

Claiming that this is all a conspiracy theory is the mindset of a fool.
Merle Haggard once had a best seller of a song, "If we make it through December we'll be fine."  After the November elections lf we make it to December we may have run out of time.

None of the possibilities I have outlined needs to become reality. But all of them could. The worst-case scenarios all share a common root cause: the failure of our politicians to recognize that, in the words of the late Enoch Powell, "the supreme function of statesmanship is to provide against preventable evils." There must be a genuine recognition, both on the part of the state and of the people, that our problems are a result of an excessive reliance upon government and our foolish faith in the ability of legislation to resolve flaws in the human character. ~ Adam Yoshida

Dear Acting Director Rowe,
United States Senatc WASHINGTON, DC 20510-2509

COMMITEES JUDICIARY HOMELAND SECURITY AND GOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS ENERGY SMALL BUSINESS AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP

My office has received new whistleblower information regarding the most recent attempt on the life of former President Donald Trump raising troubling questions about Secret Service protocols on that day.  A whistleblower with direct knowledge of Secret Service protection at former President Trump's golf course in West Palm Beach, an individual who has in fact protected President Trump at that very location-alleges there are "known vulnerabilities" in the fence line surrounding the course; places that offer a clear line of sight to the former president and others playing the course.  As a result, the whistleblower alleges it has been Secret Service protocol to "post up" agents at these vulnerable spots when Trump visits the course.  That apparently did not happen on September 15.  Instead, the gunman was permitted to remain along or near the fence line for some 12 hours.
It is further unclear from your recent press conference whether agents swept the perimeter of the golf course at any point, or whether drones were used to surveil the fence line.  The reality is that the would-be assassin should never have been able to linger around the course for that long undetected.
Please answer immediately the following questions raised by these new whistleblower allegations:

  Did Secret Service personnel post up" at known vulnerabilities in the perimeter fencing?

  Did Secret Service personnel sweep the perimeter prior to the former president's arrival on the site?

  Did Secret Service use canine units or Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) elements to monitor the perimeter of the golf course?  How were they used? 

If counter surveillance personnel were present at the golf course on September 15, as you stated at a recent press conference, in what manner were they deployed?  Why did they not detect the gunman sooner?

What was the specific counter surveillance mitigation plan for the known vulnerabilities outside the fence line that day? 

Sincerely
Josh Hawley United States Senator

Harris’s Bald-Faced Lies — Endorsed by CNN

Where are all those fact-checking defenders of the truth?

“In the midst of these pleasing ideas we should be unfaithful to ourselves if we should ever lose sight of the danger to our liberties if anything partial or extraneous should infect the purity of our free, fair, virtuous, and independent elections.” —John Adams (1787)

So, Election Day is five weeks away, and here is what we know for sure about the chameleonic candidate Kamala Harris.

She has based her presidential campaign on both Barack Obama’s deceptive 2008 blank screen strategy and Joe Biden’s 2020 media avoidance strategy.

While Harris outshines Biden’s dullard non compos mentis dribble, Obama was, in Joe Biden’s assessment, “the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy.” In other words, Obama had an abundance of charisma. But the real Kamala Harris is vacuous, grossly inarticulate, and clearly lacks any charismatic depth. And she is actually not “African-American” either.

What we also know about Harris is that what she lacks in charisma she makes up for in her ability to lie. She learned the art of the BIG Lie from her master mentor, Biden, the leader of the “lying dog-faced pony soldier” cavalry, and she has since perfected her lying skillset.

For her part, Harris has avoided any challenging media interviews since the BIG Switch with Biden, thus avoiding any tough questions about their disastrous record of domestic and foreign policy failures. In effect, she has done a great job of conceding what the Harris/Walz ticket is all about.

Of course, Harris has not been able to conceal Tim Walz’s well-documented record of stolen valor even though the most exposure the bottom of her ticket has faced thus far was the VP debate last night, during which JD Vance clobbered him. But who pays attention to those guys?

Utilizing her perfected lying skills — with the full support of her adoring Leftmedia talkingheads and scribes — Harris, like Biden, has repeatedly asserted two lies with very strategic consequences for her election.

The first lie is the one Biden repeated in the CNN three-on-one debate with Donald Trump, just before Scranton Joe imploded. That would be the claim that in 2017, Trump called racists in a Charlottesville riot “very fine people.”

In her ABC three-on-one debate with Trump, Harris once again dropped that race bomb and the moderators were too busy fact-checking Trump to call her out.

Repeating this lie is strategically important to Harris because it is her primary race-hustling pathway to paint Trump as a racist and keep her racially “sensitive” constituents in line. This claim is patently false, and even leftist CNN protagonist Jake Tapper admitted back in 2019 that Trump never actually said that. Even the leftist “fact-check” website Snopes finally debunked the “very fine people” claim — after letting it fester for seven years.

But Demos never let the facts get in the way of their political agenda.

Second, Harris picked up where Biden left off at her coronation convention, where he declared: “The brave service members who gave their lives to this country, he called them suckers and losers. Who in the hell does he think he is?”

In the debate with Trump, Harris insisted he “has consistently disparaged and demeaned members of our military, fallen soldiers.” That was a reference to the false claim that Trump, when visiting Normandy, called deceased World War I Marines “suckers and losers.”

Repeating this lie is strategically important to Harris because it is her primary method for driving a wedge between Trump and his high level of support from active-duty military personnel, Veterans, and their families.

This would be the same vice president of the United States and candidate for president and commander-in-chief who also claimed in the debate with Trump, “As of today, there is not one member of the United States military who is in active duty in a combat zone in any war zone around the world, the first time this century.”

Shouldn’t a person one heartbeat away from being commander-in-chief know that, according to the Department of Defense, the U.S. is currently engaged in active war zones, including Syria, Yemen, Iraq, and Libya? Three American military personnel were killed recently in Syria, but apparently Harris does not count those, much as she does not count the 13 American service personnel killed during the Biden/Harris surrender and retreat from Afghanistan. Recall that during that disaster, Harris gloated that she was “the last person in the room” with Biden as he formulated his plan, adding, “This is a president who has an extraordinary amount of courage.”

An extraordinary amount of courage? Let that sink in.

Recall that during that disaster, Harris gloated that she was “the last person in the room” with Biden as he formulated his plan, adding, “This is a president who has an extraordinary amount of courage.”

An extraordinary amount of courage? Let that sink in.

In response to the expanding war between Islamists and Israel — which now includes direct attacks by Iran — her administration this week deployed thousands of additional military personnel to the Middle East, who will join more than 40,000 U.S. troops in the region now. (For the record, our sources indicate that we now have air and ground assets in the war zone.)

As anyone who does not suffer from chronic Trump Derangement Syndrome knows, Trump did not and would never disparage American war dead.

Even WaPo’s resident so-called “fact-checker,” Glenn Kessler, is hedging on this old claim, citing “murky facts” after Biden recently repeated this lie three times.

Kessler notes that when former National Security Advisor John Bolton was asked about this nefarious claim, he rejected it, declaring: “I didn’t hear either of those comments or anything even resembling them. I was there at the point in time that morning when it was decided that he would not go to Aisne-Marne cemetery. He decided not to do it because of John Kelly’s recommendation. It was entirely a weather-related decision, and I thought the proper thing to do.”

Kessler adds, “Bolton has particular credibility because he is a known Trump critic, having written a book … that depicts the president in highly unflattering terms.”

The “suckers and losers” claim originated with leftists at The Atlantic, who cited unverified sources two years after Trump’s visit to France to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I. It was then parroted by CNN — just ahead of the 2020 presidential election.

Ironically, Biden and Harris have gotten a pass on this lie because CNN asserts that Trump’s former White House chief of staff, John Kelly, confirmed it. But in fact, Kelly never actually confirmed Trump said this; he merely repeated the Leftmedia reports about Trump. Consequently, once CNN claimed it was true, it was widely and falsely repeated as a Kelly affirmation.

Typical of how that is still being asserted five years later is this from NBC: “John Kelly confirms Trump privately disparaged U.S. service members and veterans.”

Again, Kelly’s statement to CNN was carefully worded and just repeated claims about Trump made by the media without confirming Trump ever called American war dead “suckers and losers.”

This business of repeating a lie because another media source claimed it reminds me of how CNN repeatedly ran false and unverified news stories claiming Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick was bludgeoned to death with a fire extinguisher by pro-Trump protesters. They continued to make that claim even after his autopsy was released, indicating his cause of death was “natural causes,” not linked to any head injury. There was never any evidence supporting the New York Times report or CNN’s claims.

But you know the old adage: “A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.”

Kinda like Harris claiming again in the debate, “Donald Trump, the candidate, has said in this election there will be a bloodbath if … the outcome of this election is not to his liking.” He never said it, but she continues to repeat it.

The fact is, if Trump is not elected, the slaughter and bloodbath under the Biden/Harris regime since they took office will get much worse.

The Harris/Walz ticket is a perilous threat to Liberty and national security, and the body count will mount.

Again, let me remind those contemplating casting their vote for the Harris/Walz ticket, YOU can stop the bloodshed.

The slaughter of thousands of men, women, and children in AfghanistanUkraine, and Israel is the direct result of the Biden/Harris regime’s lethal foreign policy ineptitude. The violent assaults on thousands of Americans by criminal illegal aliens are the direct result of “Border Czar” Harris’s lethal open border policy. The dramatic surge of violent crime across America is the direct result of the Biden/Harris war on cops and appeasement of thugs.

The blood of all those victims is on the hands of Biden and Harris and those who voted for them.

Next time you vote for a president, vote as if the lives of our Military Patriots and tens of thousands of innocent civilians depend on it.
