Trump lives rent-free in lefty heads
The Friday Letter / No. 442 / Orlando, Florida
Former White House counsel Don McGahn’s upcoming testimony before the House Judiciary Committee suggests that fear of a Trump revival is real and growing. It’s true that Committee Chairman Jerald Nadler suffers end-stage Trump Derangement Syndrome. He’s as predictable as Adam Schiff and Maxine Waters, claiming to this day that Trump stole the 2016 election with Russia’s help. Going back to when he first came to Congress during the Spanish-American War, or whenever it was, he has a long, miserable history of voting against the nation’s interests. But how do you explain Obama-appointed Judge Amy Berman Jackson’s order that the Justice Department release the “full report” on the Mueller investigation?
And you thought this matter was behind us. Sure. And I keep waiting for the Easter Bunny.
With China colonizing North Africa, building bases in the South China Sea, continuing to steal our technology, and now taking its Conestoga wagons into space while hundreds of thousands of illegals are making our borders nothing more than a joke, you might think our government has more important items on its plate than to resurrect a long-discredited, debunked conspiracy theory that even the Socialist Democrats’ pal Robert Mueller couldn’t sell.
Nadler and his Democrat committee members want to know if Trump obstructed justice during the Russia investigation. They’ve been wanting to know that since 2017, and they won’t stop asking until they get the right answer. They aren’t so curious about Joe and Hunter Biden’s influence peddling or Joe’s fealty to his puppeteers in the Chinese Communist Party. Nor are they curious about Hillary Clinton’s hiring of Richard Steele to cook up the whole Russian collusion fraud.
Democrats are brazen these days, and they should be. They commune with nearly all of legacy news media, most of academia, all of entertainment media, most of Big Business, and all of Big Tech. Example? Recently the Wall Street Journal published a photo of the Jan. 6 Capitol Hill rally. The picture shows a speaker addressing tens of thousands of attentive Trump supporters, just standing there, and identifies them as “rioters.”
Trump got 20 percent of the black male vote, a number the New York Post describes as “staggering.” In fair elections, Democrats can’t survive these numbers, and they know it. That explains the hysteria: labeling anyone who is white a racist, demanding the rewriting of American history to sell schoolchildren the lie that our country was founded on slavery, convincing blacks that they are losers and only the Democrat/government can save them.
We acknowledge that continuing efforts to destroy Trump go beyond the fear that he might run in 2024. New York’s attorney general is pursuing a bogus criminal charge that likely has a lot to do with her own political ambitions, but we will see.
And yet, the normal order of business is to let vanquished foes vanish, let them disappear into anonymity, forgotten. We aren’t seeing that with Trump, because he isn’t going anywhere. Assuming that Kamala Harris is president when 2024 comes around – she polled 1 percent in the primaries and dropped out without getting a single vote – voters will have a clear choice, prosperity and liberty or state control of everyday life. Democrats know this. They just aren’t admitting it.
The latest in fair housing
Making your daughter room with a creepy pervert is only fair.An Obama-appointed federal judge ruled this week that a Christian college in Missouri must force female students to share their dormitory rooms, showers, and bathrooms with male students. Judge Roseann Ketchmark of the District Court of Western Missouri rejected a lawsuit by the College of the Ozarks that sought to overturn one of Biden’s earliest executive orders and denied its request for a temporary restraining order.
Based on Biden’s order, the Department of Housing and Urban Development had issued a directive ordering forced co-ed housing under the Fair Housing Act. In his executive order, Biden said that “Children should be able to learn without worrying about whether they will be denied access to the restroom, the locker room, or school sports.”

At his confirmation hearing Wednesday, the nominee to head the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms said he supports the ban on AR-15 semi-automatic rifles, in keeping with an administration goal also supported by Attorney General Merrick Garland.
“With respect to the AR-15, I support a ban as has been presented in a Senate bill and supported by the president,” David Chipman said. “The AR-15 is a gun I was issued on ATF’s SWAT team. And it’s a particularly lethal weapon and regulating it as other particularly lethal weapons I have advocated for.”
The AR-15 tops the administration’s priority list of firearms it intends to ban and confiscate. It is practically a modern-day Second Amendment icon, often used in illustrations of arguments both for and against the right of self-defense.
“Between 2007 and 2017, nearly 1,700 people were murdered with a knife or sharp object per year. That’s almost four times the number of people murdered by an assailant with any sort of rifle,” says a report by the Foundation for Economic Education. Another report claims that more people die each year (450) from falling out of bed than from AR-15 rifles (about 17).
Short takes on the news
How do you plan to celebrate Sex Ed for All Month? An Orlando-area member of the Florida House called Anna Eskamani will host a virtual event for something called Sex Ed for All Month, co-sponsored with the taxpayer-funded abortion mill Planned Parenthood. Anna is a radical LGBTQ activist whose rating with the American Conservative Union is 28.11. “We believe that it is essential for Floridians to receive age-appropriate, queer-inclusive, evidence-based sex education that is accessible to all,” she writes in her constituent newsletter. . . .
Biden moves to further weaken U.S. and European security by lifting sanctions on Russia’s Nord Stream 2 pipeline that will deliver natural gas directly to Germany, baffling opponents and supporters alike. Even the regime’s hapless Secretary of State, Tony Blinken, opposes the idea. On Biden’s first day in office, his handlers had him cancel the Keystone XL pipeline and its 11,000 U.S. jobs. . . . Trying to claw her way out of the doghouse for caving to leftist pressure over girls’ sports, South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem pushes to re-instate the fireworks show at Mount Rushmore and gets support from more than a dozen Republican state AGs. . . .
Netflix CEO Reed Hastings donates more than $3 million to California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s anti-recall campaign. State law allows Newsom to raise unlimited funds while capping donations to challengers at $32,000. Newsom has another arrow in his quiver, a new round of stimulus checks to remind voters of where free money comes from. . . .
Mark Cohan, an Obama-appointed federal judge for the Northern District of Georgia, ruled that Georgia’s law prohibiting the state from doing business with companies that boycott Israel is unconstitutional.
Quote for today
“Biden kicked things off by telling the American people to listen to the “CCD” on COVID-19. Now, it’s not clear if he meant the CCP, which is the Chinese Communist Party, or the CDC, which is the Centers for Disease Control, but either way, people are likely to get the same level of misinformation. . . . He told people to go to ‘vaccine dot gum’ for more information on getting the COVID-19.” – Kyle Becker, on Biden’s coronavirus press conference, at Trending Politics.
