NOTABLE QUOTES

Sundance contributor to The Last Refuge: In the era shortly after 9/11, the DC national security apparatus was constructed to preserve continuity of government and simultaneously view all Americans as potential threats.  The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) were created specifically for this purpose. DHS and ODNI were created because Americans were now the threat to government. Stop. Pause. Think.  You are taking off your shoes at the airports because YOU are the threat.  You pass through body scanners because YOU are the threat.  Stop. Pause. Think.  How does that define your relationship with government?

 Alexander Zubatov  contributor to The American Mind: Turning back the clock on our creeping malaise is no easy task, but it is necessary if we hope to rescue the nation—and its children—from total disintegration. It must be possible to restore respect for authority without succumbing to authoritarianism and to instill a sense of cultural shame and standards without trying to model society on an imaginary Golden Age. It must begin with families and schools, with our silent majority — those who still believe in our longstanding ethos of dignity and stoicism in the face of adversity — to come together and respond with strength that commands respect in the face of our cultural elites’ insistence on absurd and sanctimonious displays of weakness threatening to bring us as individuals and as a society to our knees.

Republican Study Committee June 9, 2022 press release: Over the past two years, thanks to the Biden administration and House Democrats, federal spending has risen to historic levels, fueling the highest inflation in 40 years. Despite an unprecedented $30.5 trillion in national debt, the RSC’s “Blueprint to Save America,” would balance the federal budget in just seven years, cut spending by $16.6 trillion over 10 years and reduce Americans’ taxes by $3.9 trillion, while increasing investments in our military by 5%. House Democrats have failed to produce any kind of budget. 

Kylee Zempel contributor to The Federalist describes a failed Alabama school shooting attempt on Thursday that the MSM ignored: In other words, a man who “aggressively” tried to break into a school and take the firearm of a police officer was stopped because doors were properly locked and police officers acted bravely and urgently. Hmm. That’s interesting. Because according to President Joe Biden, failed presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke, rom-com celebrity Matthew McConaughey, and late-night political scold Jimmy Kimmel, the only way to end the “carnage” of schoolchildren being murdered is to pass anti-gun laws or issue executive orders that radically infringe on the Second Amendment but are slapped with an innocuous “common-sense” qualifier so they don’t sound so bad.

Heine: FBI Arrests Republican Candidate for Michigan Governor at His Home on Misdemeanor Jan. 6 Charges

Ryan Kelley, a Republican candidate for the governor of Michigan, was arrested at his home Thursday morning on misdemeanor charges in the January 6th riot. Kelley was reportedly led away from his Allendale house in handcuffs in front of his family. Kelly is one of five candidates for governor in the Michigan Republican primary. The arrest comes the same day the partisan Jan. 6, 2021 House committee holds its first prime-time hearing regarding its “investigation” into the Capitol riot, and the morning after Joe Biden vowed to throw his political opponents in jail during an appearance on the Jimmy Kimmel Show.

[…]  As further evidence against the candidate, the document goes on to cite Kelley’s opposition to Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and his opinions that Democrats stole the election from former President Donald Trump. […]  Meshawn Maddock, a co-chair of the state Republican Party,  blasted the arrest in a tweet Thursday, writing: “Do people really get their homes raided and arrested in front of their children over a misdemeanor? Democrats are out in force weaponizing our justice system and targeting their political opponents.”

THE DEMOCRAT LED WAR ON THE SECOND AMENDMENT

Zempel: A Would-Be School Invader In Alabama Failed When The Doors Were Locked And Police Weren’t Cowards

While Democrats continue exploiting the Uvalde shooting victims to prattle on about “assault weapons” and so-called “common-sense gun control,” another school was attacked on Thursday, but it won’t make the headlines. That’s because this school — Walnut Park Elementary School in Gadsden, Alabama — didn’t have any victims except the would-be invader, who was shot dead by police after he tried and failed to bust into the building. Here’s how it all reportedly went down. A passerby saw a man “aggressively” trying to get into the school building. When the man was unsuccessful, he tried several other doors, all of which were locked. The responsible observer called to report the man, the school principal put the building on lockdown and called in a police officer who doubles as the school resource officer, and that officer called for backup. If the reports are correct, the chain of command worked smoothly thanks to decisive action and quickly followed protocols.

THE DEMOCRAT LED WAR ON THE FIRST AMENDMENT

Heine: Whistleblower Docs: DHS’s Disinfo Board Was Poised to Crack Down on Information Questioning Vaccines, Masks, and Validity of 2020 Election

The Department of Homeland Security’s paused “Disinformation Governance Board” (DGB) was set up to respond to matters the government unilaterally determined to be mis-, dis- or mal-information (MDM)—specifically information that counters official regime narratives on “the origins and effects of COVID-19 vaccines,” “the efficacy of masks,” the validity of the 2020 election,” and “falsehoods surrounding U.S. Government immigration policy,” records obtained by Senate Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) reveal. A DHS whistleblower provided the senators with internal DHS documents revealing how the board planned to coordinate with social media platforms to enable the removal of user content it deemed to be “MDM.”

US SUPREME COURT

Anderson: Roberts Is Courting a Constitutional Crisis

The attempted assassination of Justice Brett Kavanaugh makes it abundantly clear that Chief Justice John Roberts is playing with fire in refusing to issue the Court’s majority opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the case that could potentially overturn Roe v. Wade. The potential for someone to make an attempt on a justice’s life was predictable once the draft majority opinion, in a shocking move, was leaked—but the threat appears more serious in the wake of a deranged person having arrived at Kavanaugh’s home with the stated intention, and with weapons in tow, to kill him.  It is hard to imagine the devastating effect upon our already polarized society, its institutions, and the Constitution itself if someone were to murder a justice in cold blood and then reap the following rewards for the assassination: . . . […] The chief justice has given every indication thus far that he is determined to treat the unscrupulous release of the draft opinion as a one-off event that won’t cause him to do anything else differently (other than trying to find the brazen perpetrator who betrayed the Court’s norms). But the extraordinary news from Kavanaugh’s home makes clear that it’s pure fantasy to pretend that nothing else has changed—that everything else can proceed as if the leak had never happened.

AMERICA FIRST GOP

War Room: Gaetz: Republicans Must ‘Confront’ Pelosi For ‘Power Grab’ Legislation Targeting Lawful Gun Owners

Rep. Matt Gaetz joins Steve Bannon in the “War Room” to talk about the sham Jan. 6 committee hearings, Pelosi’s gun-grabbing agenda and more. “These House Democrats failed with the Russia hoax, and then they were a little better on the Ukraine sequel to the Russia hoax. Then they failed at that and then they got the multimedia element built out for the first Jan. 6 impeachment, and now what they’re trying to do is impeach an entire movement of people.”

JANUARY 6

Barkoukis: Carlson Explains Why He Refused to Air J6 ‘Show Trial’ Hearing

Fox News stood alone among major networks in deciding against running the January 6 Committee’s hearing Thursday evening and Tucker Carlson explained why. In sum, “they are lying and we are not going to help them do it,” he said. “[I]n the 18 months since January 6, gas prices have doubled. Drug ODs have reached their highest point ever. The U.S. economy is now careening toward a devastating recession at best and scariest and least noted of all, this country has never in its history been closer to a nuclear war,” Carlson noted. “Yet the other networks can’t be bothered to cover any of that tonight.”

He called the primetime hearing “insulting” and “deranged.” “What we will do instead is to try to tell you the truth. We’ve attempted to do that since the day this happened,” Carlson said.

BIDEN/HARRIS/OBAMA REGIME: TRANSFORMING THE US MILITARY

Lendrum: Pentagon May Allow HIV-Positive Recruits, After Mass Firing of Unvaccinated

“Individuals who have been identified as HIV-positive, are asymptomatic, and who have a clinically confirmed undetectable viral load…will have no restrictions applied to their deployability or to their ability to commission while a service member solely on the basis of their HIV-positive status,” the memo reads in part. “Nor will such individuals be discharged or separated solely on the basis of their HIV-positive status.” Meanwhile, the military continues to discharge anyone who refuses to take a vaccine for the Coronavirus, a restriction first announced in September of last year that the Pentagon began enforcing in January. Despite numerous requests for religious and medical exemptions, nearly all exemptions were denied, and the vast majority of those who refuse to submit to the mandate have been discharged.

CHINA: AMERICA’S MORTAL ENEMY

Fleetwood: The Biggest Winner In Biden’s Solar Panel Charade Is Communist China

Since assuming the presidency last year, Joe Biden has been a tremendous gift to the communist Chinese government. Whether it’s repeatedly fumbling the ball on Taiwan or shutting down a Department of Justice initiative aimed at identifying and preventing spying activities by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), Biden’s administration has been at the forefront of empowering an increasingly aggressive China that seeks to replace the United States as a regional and global hegemon. On Monday, Biden decided to add another item to his ever-expanding list of policies that strengthen the CCP, with the Democrat president declaring an emergency under the Tariff Act of 1930 that exempts “certain solar cells and modules” originating from several Southeast Asian countries from new tariffs for the next two years. “In recent years, the vast majority of solar modules installed in the United States were imported, with those from Southeast Asia making up approximately three-quarters of imported modules in 2020,” the emergency declaration reads. “Recently, however, the United States has been unable to import solar modules in sufficient quantities to ensure solar capacity additions necessary to achieve our climate and clean energy goals, ensure electricity grid resource adequacy, and help combat rising energy prices.”

BIDEN/HARRIS/OBAMA REGIME: TRANSFORMING AMERICA

Sundance: House Delays Judicial Protection Bill in order to Expand Coverage of Personal Security Details to Staffers, Aides, Receptionists, Chauffers’ and DC Employees

If you know the way Washington DC thinks, specifically thinks about their own scale of importance amid a world filled with lesser people who do not understand the value of their elite place in the construction of government, then you could easily predict what is happening right now. A previous senate bill that would have afforded security details to Supreme Court Justices, is now stalled in the House of Representatives as Nancy Pelosi and top Democrat politicians add an additional set of people who should gain the full benefit of taxpayer funded security details. Democrats in the House are using the opportunity provided by bipartisan agreement to enhance the personal security services for the Judicial Branch, in order to assign the same privileges to staff, aides and people who work within the administration of government. DC is nothing if not predictable in their elitist view of their self-importance.

Harsanyi: Jimmy Kimmel Asks Joe Biden Why He’s Not Acting More Like A Dictator

…and Biden promises to do a better job. Joe Biden is incapable of giving interviews to his allies in establishment media without looking like a centenarian overdosing on Xanax. So, the administration recruited a sycophantic late-night talk show host for the job. And, as expected, the interview with Jimmy Kimmel, who set up tee-balls for our dotard leader, was as cringe-inducing. Biden struggled to remember his canned talking points, promised a “mini revolution” if Roe was overturned (the same day someone tried to murder a SCOTUS justice), and rambled into the ether. Biden is an unserious person doing very serious damage. Dunking on Republicans and hating Trump might have been good enough to win in 2020, and it might get you frivolous applause from the automatons in Kimmel’s audience, but it isn’t political philosophy. That fact was evident last night as the host who once warned his audience about “fascists” asked the president why he isn’t unilaterally dismantling a constitutional right.

Elordi: Four Colorado Elementary Schools’ DEI Groups Teamed Up To Promote Drag Queen Story Hour

“Happy Pride Month! Please join and celebrate with us!!” Meadowlark Elementary’s DEI committee wrote in a June 1 Facebook post, adding that “all are welcomed to join in the celebration.” The post said the elementary school DEI groups would “sponsor and hand out rainbow flags at the main entrance points.”

Drag queen Shirley Delta Blow was scheduled to read to children at 4 p.m. as part of the Pride event, which was set for last Sunday afternoon. Shirley Delta Blow is actually Stuart Sanks, a third grade teacher at The Studio School just north of Denver, he told Westword.
