“…what the impeachment circus is about is protecting Democrats,
particularly the Obama administration officials who sought to sabotage
President Trump both during the 2016 election campaign and after Trump won…..They

Trump.”

COLUMN OF THE WEEK

“When does it count as a coup? Not only do they want to subvert this
president and the will of
63 million Americans, they want to make sure that they never lose an election again.”
63 million Americans, they want to make sure that they never lose an election again.”
Freedom is not our
norm. In the history of mankind, and even today, oppression and political
corruption are the standard, with the people of more than 90 nations living
without the freedom we take for granted in
America.
Thomas Hobbes was
right. Unless we decide, together, to live in peace under a mutually agreed
upon and respected social contract, life is invariably nasty, brutish,
and short.
But the question for
us who live in the freest nation today, is at what point would we say—with
justification—that we have lost too much of our liberties and that our nation
is being stolen from us right now? Would we even realize if there were a
concerted attack on our freedoms? Or, like the proverbial frog in hot water,
would we only work out what was going on once it was too late?
As a warning to those
who think the Left can never turn back the clock and that our freedoms always
increase and never diminish, here is a warning. Not only are we living in the
most divisive time in the republic’s history since the Civil War, but we are
also right now witnesses to an ongoing plot to subvert the duly elected
President of the United States.
Here are the
incontrovertible facts:
1) Under the Obama
Administration, CIA Director John Brennan and FBI Director James Comey
initiated Operation Crossfire Hurricane, the first-ever
counterintelligence operation in America history targeting a
presidential campaign.
2) During the
operation, the CIA and FBI deployed multiple human intelligence assets to attempt
the entrapment of members of the Trump campaign and link them to Russia.
3) Knowing it would be illegal to spy on Americans
without a crime having been committed, or without even the predicate of a
crime, John Brennan circumvented the Constitution and used British
intelligence to target Obama’s and Hillary Clinton’s political
adversaries.
4) Clinton and the DNC paid millions of dollars to a
former British spy, Christopher Steele to manufacture
an opposition research file using Russian propaganda in order to
smear candidate Trump.
5) Comey’s FBI and Loretta Lynch’s Justice Department
used that propaganda dossier to obtain secret surveillance warrants illegally
from the FISA courts to spy on members of the Trump campaign, illegal because
the FBI and the Justice Department deliberately hid from the FISA judges
exculpatory information as to the political
origins of the dossier and the political agenda of Christopher
Steele.
6) The DNC itself sent a Ukrainian American, Alexandra
Chalupa, to the Ukrainian embassy in D.C. to coordinate
further smears against candidate Trump.
7) The National Security Agency’s unparalleled
surveillance capabilities were repeatedly abused by contractors to spy on the
Trump campaign, contractors who weren’t even allowed to access NSA databases,
until Obama’s NSA Director Mike Rogers took it upon himself to warn President-elect
Trump of the operation
against him.
8) Peter Strzok, head of the FBI’s counterintelligence
division, planned an
“insurance policy” to knee-cap the Trump Administration should
Clinton lose the election, a plan he bragged about to his mistress Lisa Page in
texts over government devices. That insurance policy would become the Mueller
probe.
9) After the election, General Mike Flynn, President
Trump’s new national security advisor, was framed for a
process crime by acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe, who asked Flynn
to meet with his agents for an interview without warning him that he was under
investigation, or warning him of his rights under interrogation, telling him he
had no need for counsel during the meeting.
10) We now know, thanks to Judicial Watch, that Obama’s
Ukraine ambassador, Marie Yovanovitch, illegally instructed her team in Kyiv
and the State Department back in Washington, D.C. to monitor leading American
journalists and conservatives, including Donald Trump, Jr., Sean Hannity, Sara
Carter, John Solomon, Lou Dobbs, and this author.
Each of the above represents a far greater crime than the
bungled burglary that would become the historic Watergate scandal. Together
they constitute an attempted coup for which not one person has gone to jail.
For the record, 40 government officials were indicted or imprisoned after
Watergate.
But this isn’t simply about the 2016 election and
candidate Trump. It is about the survival of our republic as a republic founded
on the principles of its birth.
There is only one reason that the Democrats are openly
suggesting that the Electoral College be abolished, that 16-year-olds should be
allowed to vote, that the Supreme Court should be packed with their nominees,
that lawfully owned guns should be confiscated, and that the president should
be impeached based on any and every pretext, regardless of the facts. Not only
do they want to subvert this president and the will of 63 million Americans by
overturning the last election, they want to make sure they never lose an
election again.
Are you willing to do whatever it takes politically to
make sure that doesn’t happen?
Important read: The
Long Game on Impeachment: “1) The
impeachment spectacle is Democrats’ prebuttal to the investigations by Horowitz
and Durham that likely will expose the plot to rig and undo the 2016 election.
The coup plotters hope to divert attention by staging an even more spectacular
show. 2) The current impeachment effort dragoons the legislative branch into
serving in political war against President Trump in the 2020 cycle. 3) We Don’t
Need an Elected Government, we have the bureaucracy 4) The impeachment
spectacle is a warning any future pretender to the throne: Do not go this
way.

“There was more coverage of Trump posting a meme of a dog
getting a fake medal than there was of Trump giving an actual war hero the
Medal of Honor… That tells you everything you need to know about the Mainstream

Kirk
“To think that your
ability to dribble a ball, throw a football, and/or decline a White House
invitation makes you more of a hero than the bodies that are sent home in

“I’m reading one of the best books I’ve ever seen, historian

if they can’t all articulate it beyond expressing intense but inchoate anxiety
about political correctness.”

“The Left’s fixation on climate change is cloaked in
scientism, deploying computer models to create the illusion of certainty. Ever
more convinced of their role as planetary saviors, radical greens are
increasingly intolerant of dissent or any questioning of their policy agenda.
They embrace a sort of “soft Stalinism,” driven by a determination to remake
society, whether people want it or not—and their draconian views are
penetrating the mainstream. “Democracy,” a writer for Foreign Policy suggests, is
“the planet’s biggest enemy.”

EDUCATION
“What do widely diverse crises such as declining demography,
increasing indebtedness, Generation Z’s indifference to religion and
patriotism, static rates of home ownership, and a national epidemic of
ignorance about American history and traditions all have in common? In a word,
21st-century higher education.”

“America’s newest religion is secular, and its zealous
missionaries are focusing their efforts on the country’s youth……while it is not
a requirement yet, the new religion is most definitely thriving…..many students
currently are being taught about “colonialism, state violence, racism,
intergenerational trauma, heteropatriarchy and the common thread that links
them: ‘whiteness.’”
Prager: ‘Your Past Is
Terrible, and Your Future Is Terrible’ America’s history, according to the

VDH: Democrats,
NeverTrump Republicans, left-liberal celebrities, journalists, and academics
all revile Donald Trump because he is trying and often succeeding to restore a
conservative America at a time when his opponents thought that the mere idea
was not just impossible but unhinged.
“My home county of Fairfax, Virginia was once a safe suburban

“The search for the perfect impeachable offense against
President Trump is reminiscent of overzealous prosecutors who target the
defendant first and then search for the crime with which to charge him. Or to
paraphrase the former head of the Soviet secret police to Stalin: show me the
man and I will find you the crime.”
“What we are facing now is not partisan warfare, it’s not a
mystery novel, it’s not politics-as-usual. We are facing an attempt to tear down
the foundations of our republic by corrupt, unelected bureaucrats who have
decided the will of voters is subordinate to their will to power. It represents
a fatal threat to our system of government, and if this coup succeeds — whether
through impeachment proceedings, or through an election that the other side is
clearly willing to steal by hook or by crook — the nation will cease to be a
constitutional, democratic republic.”

my ballot, lit it on fire and flushed it down the Schiffhole. But Romney does
serve a purpose, as hard as that is to see through his pathetic antics. His
perpetual groveling for approval……is so shameful.”

regulate it according to their fancy.”
