VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: The Coup We Never Knew
January 5, 2023 By Victor Davis Hanson
Did someone or something seize control of the United States?
What happened to the U.S. border? Where did it go? Who erased it? Why and how did 5 million people enter our country illegally? Did Congress secretly repeal our immigration laws? Did President Joe Biden issue an executive order allowing foreign nationals to walk across the border and reside in the United States as they pleased?
Since when did money not have to be paid back? Who insisted that the more dollars the federal government printed, the more prosperity would follow? When did America embrace zero interest? Why do we believe $30 trillion in debt is no big deal?
When did clean-burning, cheap, and abundant natural gas become the equivalent to dirty coal? How did prized natural gas that had granted America’s wishes of energy self-sufficiency, reduced pollution, and inexpensive electricity become almost overnight a pariah fuel whose extraction was a war against nature? Which lawmakers, which laws, which votes of the people declared natural gas development and pipelines near-criminal?
Was it not against federal law to swarm the homes of Supreme Court justices, to picket and to intimidate their households in efforts to affect their rulings? How then with impunity did bullies surround the homes of Justices Brett Kavanaugh, Samuel Alito, Amy Coney Barrett, Neil Gorsuch, John Roberts, and Clarence Thomas – furious over a court decision on abortion? How could these mobs so easily throng our justices’ homes, with placards declaring “Off with their d—s”?

Thanks to Evelyn Kober for sharing this article re the omnibus bill that is filled with an incredible amount of pork, money to protect Ukraine’s border but not our border and more money for the FBI just to name a few of the more obscene money that is being spent in this bill. If your blood isn’t boiling already, just wait until you read this article. We will remember which Republican senators vote for this monstrosity. Please share with your contacts. Nancy
$1.7T spending bill stuffed with giveaways for favored groups from lobster industry to LGBTQIA+
GOP Rep. Dan Bishop identified $575 million in the bill for “family planning/reproductive health” in areas where population growth “threatens biodiversity.”
By Nicholas Ballasy
December 21, 2022
The $1.7 trillion, 4,155-page omnibus bill that congressional negotiators have unveiled is stuffed with pork and shouldn’t be passed, according to a group of conservative GOP lawmakers and the Heritage Foundation.
Outgoing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York, are rushing to move the bill to passage before the Christmas break. A floor vote in the Senate could come as soon as Wednesday.
Meanwhile, a group of 13 House GOP members have pledged to block “any legislative priority” of GOP senators who vote for the $1.7 trillion omnibus spending bill.
North Carolina GOP Rep. Dan Bishop worked with his staff to comb through the massive bill and identified $575 million for “family planning/reproductive health” in areas where population growth “threatens biodiversity.” Bishop and his staff also identified nearly $1.5 billion for “membership in global multilateral organizations,” such as the United Nations.
The legislation includes $2.3 million for informing the public that President Biden is taking action to cancel up to $20,000 of student loan debt for qualified borrowers. Biden’s student loan forgiveness program, which he implemented without congressional authority, is currently on hold pending Supreme Court review.

The Anti-Fascist Fraud
Anti-fascists love to intimidate others by claiming a moral high ground, even if that high ground is below sea-level. Anti-fascists promoted the destruction of minority-owned small businesses in the summer of 2020 in the name of fighting systemic racism, anti-fascists trampled the Bill of Rights during COVID lockdowns for the sake of public health, and anti-fascists hate Elon Musk’s desire to promote “Free Speech” on Twitter because speech (like silence, oddly enough) is violence.
One hotly contested battle between current anti-fascism and common sense is K-12 education. Anti-fascists paint parents and teachers concerned about pornographic books in school libraries as “literal Nazis.” Books like Gender Queer contain graphic pictures of sexual acts; however, according to the Left this book should remain in school libraries to champion Diversity and Inclusion. If a parent holds the opinion that the sexualized material might be too graphic for minors, that parent is a fascist on par with Mussolini.
But what happens when the anti-fascists want to ban books? Do they become fascist-anti-fascists or anti-anti-fascists?
Last week, the anti-fascist Twitter account “Silent Sam I Am” (named after Silent Sam, the confederate statue violently toppled at UNC-Chapel Hill) tweeted the following:

Primary Care Institution Prioritizes ‘Gender-Affirming’ Medicine for Children
By Nancy Anderson
EXCERPT FROM THIS ARTICLE: ECU will become a medical facility where primary care doctors insert themselves between a parent and child, potentially affirming a minor’s new gender identity without parental knowledge. Buckman also described plans to expand the program into other specialties. (Could this include surgery given its role in “gender-affirming care”?) Medical students and residents will rotate through the gender clinic to incorporate “gender-affirming care” in future primary care practices
Projections vary, but the consensus of any number of studies forecasts a significant physician shortage for the United States over the next decade. A 2020 study predicted a total physician deficit of nearly 140,000 by 2030. The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) 2021 report on physician supply and demand calculates that the U.S. population rate will grow by 10.8% with a potential shortage of 48,000 primary care doctors by 2034. “Population growth and aging continue to have the greatest impact on demand growth,” concludes the AAMC.
Public health officials offer various solutions to this problem such as increasing the number of medical schools, recruiting foreign-trained doctors, and advancing telehealth technology. Some medical schools and training programs pride themselves on primary care physician development, emphasizing programs in rural health and regional healthcare.
One such program is East Carolina University (ECU) and the Brody School of Medicine (BSoM) in North Carolina. In 2018, 59% of the medical school graduating class at Brody matched in primary care residencies; in 2022, 61% of students matched into primary care. BSoM graduates the 2nd highest number of physicians entering family practice in the country. ECU has an Office of Generalist Programs, dedicated to “increasing the number of medical students entering primary care careers.”
The North Carolina General Assembly rewarded ECU’s commitment to primary care by specifying $215 million in funding for ECU’s School of Medicine in the 2021 state budget. The ECU Chancellor noted the funds were, “a landmark moment for the future of rural health care and medical education [emphasis added] in our state and region.” This would indicate that ECU’s medical community and the NC taxpayers are doing their part to narrow the projected gap of primary care supply and demand. So why — only a few months after the $215 million government award — has ECU Medicine started a primary care program to provide sex-change drugs to children?

The Premeditated Murder of the American Family
“YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE THERE”
by Joan Swirsky, ©2022 Joan Swirsky is a New York-based journalist and author. Her website is www.joanswirsky.com, and she can be reached at joanswirsky@gmail.com.
(Oct. 12, 2022) — In 1959, I was 18, newly married to my former boyfriend of four years, and thrilled to be starting my “grown-up” life with the man of my dreams. Little did my then-apolitical self know that the close of that halcyon decade had been preceded by nearly a century of a concerted effort to destroy the American family, an effort fueled by the same fanatical Communist zealots who now occupy the Oval Office of the United States of America!
Now why would anyone––much less a huge number of people––want to destroy the greatest and most successful experiment in government in world history, one which President Abraham Lincoln described as “of the people, by the people, for the people,” the Democratic Republic of the United States of America?
Simply, because it flew in the face of every political system that previously existed––monarchies, dictatorships, oligarchies, aristocracies, totalitarianism, communism, socialism––systems in which the immense power and abuse-of-power that these regimes exercised would be vanquished if replaced by the Power of the People that the Founding Fathers of America envisioned.
The mission of those other regimes was never ever about concern for their populaces; rather it was––and is today––purely about the acquisition and maintenance of power and control and especially the immense wealth that comes with both power and control. Always, always, always follow the money!
HOW CAN WE DESTROY AMERICA?
The enemies of America thought long and hard about how to destroy this fledgling experiment. It was clear to them that America’s strength was a function of three phenomena:
- A fervent belief in the God who makes miracles happen, for just one example the crushing defeat of the thunderously powerful English Empire’s armies by blazing patriots like General George Washington and his ragtag army of American heroes.
- An equally ardent belief in and passion for the concept of Freedom. Men who knew they were going to die, and their wives who believed their deaths were for the noble cause of freedom, all sacrificed to bring about our victory over the monarchy that wanted to continue to rule us.
- The most passionate was the embrace, belief, and allegiance to family, its sanctity, its strength, its ability to weather all storms and overcome all obstacles.
If we destroy all three, our enemies reasoned, the masses they considered essentially stupid would be forced to rely exclusively on Big Government. And so, to this day, the socialists-cum-communists among us are employing––as their predecessors did–– every malevolent, criminal, and vicious tactic they can muster to actualize that goal.

Why Is Hollywood So Woke?
Entertainment journalist Christian Toto explores why almost everyone in Tinsel Town—from the top star to the lowest crew member—seems to fall on one side of the political spectrum. There is no shortage of reasons. But that doesn’t mean those reasons are commendable.

September 17, 2022 AMERICAN THOUGHT LEADERSViews 25.6K
Rod Dreher: What Happens When a Society Loses the Desire to Know the Truth?
“Hannah Arendt, the great political philosopher of the 20th century, said that when a society loses the desire to know the truth, that is a precursor to totalitarianism. And I think that has happened on both the left and the right.”
Rod Dreher is the author of “Live Not By Lies” and a senior editor at The American Conservative. At a time of rampant propaganda and disinformation, how do we get at the truth?
“This whole corrupt system depends on everyone being willing to nod their heads and go along with the lie. This is happening all over in the West today with gender ideology, with so-called anti-racism, and so much more.”

As global threats grow, concerns mount that Pentagon deprioritizing warfighting
“China likely cares very little about whether its sailors have access to education opportunities or whether their marine spouses are able to transfer their work skills from one location to another,” wrote Marine veteran Dakota Wood.
By Aaron Kliegman September11,2022
As America faces a range of growing security threats from abroad, concerns are mounting that the Pentagon’s senior leadership is too focused on priorities other than deterring and preparing for war.
For some experts, a recent 1,141-word message to the Navy and Marine Corps crystallizes this issue.
The message, penned by Secretary of the Navy Carlos del Toro, was meant to tout his accomplishments after one year of being in charge of the Navy Department. He highlighted the Navy’s progress on several issues: sexual harassment, mental health, education, housing, keeping personal costs down, child care, spouse employment, and the Exceptional Family Member Program.
Del Toro’s one-year status report “talks about everything … except sea power,” wrote Heritage Foundation senior fellow and Marine veteran Dakota Wood. “He missed an opportunity to reflect on why we have a Navy in the first place, and the purpose, importance, and value of serving as sailors and Marines.”
The message didn’t address that China has the world’s largest navy or that China is expected to have more aircraft carriers and amphibious assault ships based in the Pacific than the U.S. by 2025.
The U.S. Navy has also faced maintenance backlogs, ship collisions, and training accidents caused in part by strain on the current fleet to keep up with deployments. According to analysts, the service isn’t well positioned to reorient the Marine Corps with new and more ships to face the military threat posed by China.
“Del Toro said nary a word about any of this in his ‘year in review,'” wrote Wood. “The naval services must be prepared for war so that, when called upon, they will be able to defeat enemy forces in battle. China likely cares very little about whether its sailors have access to education opportunities or whether their marine spouses are able to transfer their work skills from one location to another. But they are increasing their warfighting capabilities at a rapid pace while the U.S. fleet dwindles.”
Meanwhile, the U.S. Pacific Air Forces, which is tasked in part with deterring and preparing for conflict with China, has ordered its senior leaders and commanders to stop using gender pronouns such as “he” and “she,” the Washington Free Beacon reported.
The military command also banned references to age and race, saying the language shift would help with “lethality” and “competition against near-peer adversaries,” a term referring to China and Russia.
“We must embrace, promote, and unleash the potential of diversity and inclusion,” read an email sent in May to senior leaders and commanders at the Andersen Air Force Base in Guam, which operates under the Pacific Air Forces.
