Facing facts on China

The Friday Letter / No. 475

Let's start with two facts: China is the enemy of the United States and controls the President, who heads the most corrupt crime family in American political history and himself is a national security risk. Joe Biden makes Bill Clinton's turning the Lincoln Bedroom into an Airbnb is as tame as Amy Carter running a lemon aid stand on the front lawn of the White House. If we fall to Chinese tyranny, so does the entire world.

China is sword-rattling on Taiwan because Joe Biden is weak, unlikely to stand up to his Chinese masters, and China knows it. Domestically, he's just as weak.

At the dinner table tonight, ask your family to explain why 2 million illegal aliens were let into the country last year without visas, proof of vaccination, identification, or criminal history and sent into the interior, bringing sickness and disease – including tuberculosis – crime, trash, and enough fentanyl from China to kill 100,000 of our citizens last year. Many had previously been imported.

Then ask why states can order their own citizens to carry identification papers proving vaccination and make them wear masks indoors and out. And locking down the government schools, “a constant decision to destroy an entire generation,” says J.D. Vance, running for the Senate in Ohio. Only after you hear their answer should you point out that this is a Soviet-style practice even today in communist countries.

Ask questions. Avoid the strong temptation to lecture. Let the child, friend, whoever, arrive at his own conclusion.

We can't survive three more years of Joe Biden. Even if Republicans retake both the House and Senate, Biden's puppeteers will still have the presidential executive order, which they are eager to use extra-constitutionally to further the aims of the Marxist left.

Congress did not vote to shut down the pipelines and fracking on federal lands. Congress did not order people to walk around outside wearing useless cloth masks. Congress did not order the FBI to infiltrate and incite the riots of last Jan. 6. Congress did not order federal prosecutors to pretend that Black Lives Matter and Antifa are not Marxist domestic terrorist groups. Congress did not order the Secretary of Defense to turn the military into an anti-white spineless patsy social justice campaign with complete disregard of its mission to protect the United States. Congress did not cook up a scheme to reward law-breaking illegal aliens with cash, amnesty and the promise of the vote.

Congress did not do these things. Unelected federal bureaucrats or Joe Biden's puppeteers themselves did these things.

That's the current situation. Now the problem: Republicans still don't know what to do about it, other than complain. The plan seems to be to sit back and wait for November. That run-out-the-clock strategy is dangerous.

Constitutional conservatives can't afford the false confidence of believing that a big win is inevitable. Nothing happens until somebody votes, enough not only to win legitimately but to overcome institutionalized Democrat vote-stealing. “My vote doesn't count” is a refrain we hear occasionally from Republican friends but never from Democrats. Democrats understand the importance of every vote.

Winning for the Constitution will take more than electing Republicans. Certainly getting rid of Liz Cheney is important, because she is a thorn in the side of constitutionalism. But Republicans need to pick up 40, 50, even 60 House seats to send home a message of moon rocket proportions.

The Senate will be trickier, because it has few bonafide constitutional conservatives. It starts with removing Lisa Murkowski from Alaska and a couple of other anti-Trump establishment Republicans. There was an encouraging development Wednesday when Sen. Lindsey Graham stated unequivocally that he won't support Mitch McConnell for Majority Leader unless McConnell can establish a solid, supporting relationship with President Trump. At the moment McConnell is a fervent anti-Trumper, and Graham says that won't stand. Good for him.

The GOP has some strong prospects for both the House and Senate. Running in the House are some former enlisted guys with battlefield leadership. In the Senate, we like J.D. Vance (Ohio) once an anti-Trumper who has come around. He's smart, and he knows what he's talking about.

Rep. Mo Brooks of Alabama is the conservative who should succeed retiring Richard Shelby, a good troop but too close to the middle, in the Senate now for 36 years. In Georgia, Trump loyalist and former Dallas Cowboys running back and the 1982 Heisman Trophy winner from the University of Georgia, Herschel Walker, wants to unseat Raphael Warnock, who has preached at his Ebeneezer Baptist Church that the country must “repent for its worship of whiteness.”

Walker must be pushing the right buttons. Radical left journalists, including Esquire and some others, are taking long shots at him, calling him dumb, stupid, violent, and a snake oil salesman.

Patriots who intend to turn the Senate from squishy Republican establishment to constitutional conservative must support these candidates directly. Giving to the RNC or the Republican Senatorial Committee is throwing away good money. Inject medicine right into the aorta of these worthy candidates.

Finally, let the Democrat Party's controlling left wing know that voters have learned how to fight back at overbearing school boards and blue-state governors, especially when it comes to ordering citizens to lock down over a coronavirus that is losing its ability to kill as it mutates into new forms. “It's time to put down the crazy pills,” J.D. Vance says.

Short takes on the news

More that 47,000 illegal aliens who were supposed to report to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office between last spring and summer has disappeared, Just the News reports . . . Dale Ho, Biden's nominee to be a Federal District Judge for the Southern District of New York, said in a speech in 2018 that the U.S. Senate and Electoral College are “anti-democratic institutions.” Ho is a former ACLU lawyer. . . There she goes again. South Dakota Gov. Kristie Noem releases ad that falsely claims she never backed down from protecting women's sports, which she did in caving to the NCAA and Chamber of Commerce last year – the likely end to any hopes of becoming Trump's VP pick, The Federalist reports. . . A new poll by Rasmussen and the Heartland Institute says Trump would beat Biden if the election were held today. Question: Even more than he beat him in 2020?. . . Oath Keepers charged with sedition may have history on their side. Defined as an act where two or more people conspire to overthrow the government, the law has a bad track record. Escaped slaves in 1851 were charged with treason and acquitted, and it's been mostly downhill from there. But it gives CNN something to rail about.
