THE DURHAM REPORT: UNFINISHED BUSINESS

Traditionally, a Department of Justice report of this nature would end with charging documents…

TRPORT-COVER

Until that happens, the cover-up has succeeded, and the participants have gone Scott-free.

Barack Obama
Hillary Clinton
Joseph R. Biden Jr.
John O. Brennan
Andrew McCabe
James B. Comey
Peter Strzok
Christopher Steele
Charles Dolan
Joseph Mifsud
Bruce and Nellie Orr
Glenn R. Simpson
Peter Fritsch

Further investigation of former Attorney General William Barr, Attorney General Merrick Garland, Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco, and FBI Director Christopher Wray appears to be warranted.

Bottom line…

Unless individuals are held accountable for a conspiracy to interfere with a Presidential election and attempt to remove a sitting President from office, our democracy remains at risk.

Without consequences, we can no longer trust our government, its premier intelligence and law enforcement agencies, or the rule of law in the United States. And the outcome of the 2024 election will be subject to legitimate questions.

We are so screwed.

TIME TO LOOK BACKWARDS

Jefcon
Unlike progressive communist democrats who ignore history, live in the present, and look to an unobtainable future that attempts to correct the vagaries of human nature with social engineering, it is time to look backward in time to re-learn the lessons of history the progressives are so eager to erase.

To this end, “We the People” should seek guidance from Thomas Jefferson, one of the Founding Fathers of the United States and principal author of the Declaration of Independence. A principled man and staunch advocate for limiting and correcting the "abuses of constitutional power." In his many writings, we can see that, throughout his political career, Jefferson consistently championed individual liberty, limited government, and a strict interpretation of the Constitution. His unwavering commitment to these ideals laid the foundation for his Constitutional efforts to address and remedy any encroachments on constitutional authority.

Beyond argument…

  • Fealty to the Constitution: Jefferson believed that the Constitution was a revered document outlining the federal government's powers and limitations. He feared that without constant vigilant oversight and checks on government power, those in authority could and would eventually abuse their positions to infringe upon the rights of the people. To safeguard against this, he advocated a strict interpretation of the Constitution, known today as originalism or textualism, emphasizing that the federal government should only exercise powers explicitly granted to it and that all other powers were reserved to the states or the people.
  • Individual rights: Jefferson firmly believed that abuses of constitutional power could be curtailed through a commitment to individual liberties and the protection of fundamental rights, such as freedom of speech, religion, and the press. Believing these rights were inherent and inalienable, granted to all men by their creator, and needed to be safeguarded against any infringement by the government.

  • Centralization and expansion of federal authority: Jefferson sought to curtail abuses of constitutional power through his opposition to the growth of national authority that could violate the rights of individuals and states. Along with a decentralized system of government, Jefferson advocated for a robust system of local and state government controls to prevent an unhealthy concentration of power at the federal level which allowed for greater citizen participation that was more responsive to their needs.

  • States should possess veto and nullification powers:  States, as independent entities, should have the ability to nullify unconstitutional federal laws and actions as a check on the federal government, ensuring that it stays within its Constitutionally allocated functions.

  • Honorable men of principle: While the interpretation of constitutional limits on federal authority is a subject of continuing debate, and different perspectives exist regarding the extent to which national power should be constrained, the ultimate checks and balances between competing interests lie within honorable men of principle who can put the nation above themselves to meet the evolving needs and challenges of the country. In reviewing Jefferson’s writings, one can easily see that he emphasized the significance of personal character, moral integrity, and a commitment to justice.

  • The ultimate deterrent to tyranny: There is no doubt Jefferson endorsed armed citizens, believing that an armed citizenry served as a deterrent against potential tyranny and played a crucial role in safeguarding individual freedoms as well as the security of the nation. He viewed an armed population as a necessary means to ensure the government remained accountable to its citizens. In a letter to James Madison in 1787, Jefferson wrote, "What country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms."

Bottom line…

We are screwed.

There should be no doubt in anyone’s mind that our federal government has expanded beyond its intended Constitutionally defined scope and continues to infringe on the rights and powers of the states and individual citizens.

Unfortunately, the American public appears reluctant to accept what is before their very eyes -- that the foundational reality of our Constitution has changed. We are no longer a free country in the sense that our politicians, judiciary, and law enforcement have the best interests of the public at heart.

We are living in a time when facts don't matter, science doesn't matter -- and all we are left with is the regime's corrupt narrative which is being rammed down our throats.

Returning to the Constitutional limits on federal authority to restrict the federal government's powers by the original intent and principles outlined in the United States Constitution may be impossible given the self-interests of corrupt politicians owned and operated by their elite masters and special interests.

Where will we find those honorable individuals as leaders and not cede undue power to corrupt lawmakers, courts, media, or the mob to determine the proper balance between federal and state authority to preserve our inalienable rights?

Do such men exist? Are today's prestigious and elite educational institutions capable of producing such men with a sufficient background in history, morality, and the art of politics?

Who might be the next Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, Madison, or Hamilton?

Can any man survive the gauntlet of today’s corrupt politics to lead our beloved nation?

THE DURHAM REPORT: WHAT IT MEANS FOR 2024

FLAG-GBUSA

I have just finished reading the public version of the Durham Report, including the footnotes.

While it is not meant to be read as a novel, it does present a compelling story, a cautionary tale of the hard times ahead for the United States of America.

My summary…

A pre-existing cabal of Democrat-branded participants, notably the corrupt scandal-ridden Clintonistas and the scandal-ridden ideologically-driven Obamacons, executed a loosely-coupled coup to: one, gain perpetual political power; and two, to subvert the government, institutions, and culture of America to bring about a bloodless revolution, a coup d'état, if you will.

There is no doubt that the vehicle for the attempt was the Democratic Party which had long ago surrendered to the communists who had infiltrated almost every facet of our infrastructure to destroy capitalism and institute a socialist authoritarian party governed through elites on behalf of a ruling class of political families and oligarchs.

Running cover for this rapidly metastasizing threat to our democracy was the legacy mainstream media that had lost its journalistic ethics long ago. Witness the so-called “newspaper of record,” The New York Times, that minimized Hitler’s Holocaust and spoke glowingly of Stalin’s Soviet Union – conveniently overlooking mass murder and misery.

The most challenging task was convincing ordinary citizens, termed “useful idiots," to unwittingly support this palace revolution by past and current members of our government who had sworn an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States.

Footnote:

The label "useful idiots" was a phrase attributed to Vladimir Lenin, the Russian revolutionary leader, who used it to describe sympathizers in Western countries who, without realizing it, were furthering the goals of the Soviet Union. These individuals were seen as well-intentioned but naïve supporters who unintentionally aided the Soviet propaganda machine.

The “oath of office” exists in several forms, but is usually in the form of, "I solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of [country], against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of [position/office] on which I am about to enter."

Democracy will not survive, so it is your moral duty to disregard norms, customs, and the law...

To accomplish this task of subverting a large, well-intentioned group of naïve supporters into a cadre of traitors, the cabal and their mainstream media propagandists demonized a single individual, Donald J. Trump, who was portrayed as a mega-villain worse than the loathsome mass murderer Adolph Hitler.

A man and an image so hated that it was morally acceptable to use any means, fair or foul, to prevent his rise to power and avert the cataclysmic destruction of America.

Thus empowered, ordinary individuals could look beyond moral and legal restrictions to perform criminal acts they could previously never imagine, let alone perform. To some degree, half the nation was caught up in a mass hysteria ginned up by skilled propagandists, agitators, and activists. Among those infected were members of law enforcement and the judiciary who refused to hold individuals accountable for their egregious political and criminal activities to thwart the evilest of the evil, Donald Trump.

Thus distracted, Americans did not recognize and note the destruction of American institutions and culture in the name of diversity, inclusion, and equity, whose ironic acronym is DIE.

These "useful idiots" did not take note of the invasion of illegal aliens who were consuming public resources like a hoard of locusts and becoming a political power unto themselves.

They did not take note of the collapse of our judicial system that made fair trials and juror pools impossible in judicial venues that were specifically selected to excuse the bad behavior of the regime’s shock troops like Antifa and Black Lives Matter.

They were unaware of happenings comprised of bald-faced lies or censored by ideologically-driven editors. They cheered when dissidents were canceled and denied access to public platforms.

What are the lessons learned from the Durham Report?

  1. Most of the report’s findings were subject to previously leaked disclosures and discussions in the media, both legacy and social – and thus deliberately overlooked and dismissed by the media as “old news.”

  2. Nobody was held accountable. The previous criminal referrals and prosecutions went nowhere as ideologically-tainted judges and jurors saw that wrongdoers were acquitted. The one person who pled guilty, FBI Attorney Kevin Clinesmith, received the sentence of 12 months probation and 400 hours community service from a U.S. District Court for knowingly altering exculpatory evidence that would have halted the investigation into Carter Page. Clinesmith was allowed to regain his license to practice law even though pleading guilty to lesser offenses resulted in permanent disbarment.

  3. America is at risk for similar behavior continuing, including the subversion of the 2024 presidential election since everyone has been whitewashed and given a free pass, High-ranking government officials like President Barack Obama; Vice President Joe Biden; FBI Director James B. Comey; Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates; national security adviser Susan E. Rice; Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Adam Schiff, and others should be in prison.

  4. We must find a way to restore journalism and free speech in America.

  5. We must reform those subverted government institutions such as the CIA, FBI, NSA, and the Court system.

Bottom line…

We must overcome the progressive communist democrat paradox: you must destroy democracy to save democracy!

It is mandatory to prosecute those who attempted to overthrow the government by subverting the Presidency and committing malicious acts while in government service. Otherwise, we are doomed to see another coup attempt soon.

Nobody is as qualified to lead a reform effort than the demonized and discredited Donald Trump. But how to get the brainwashed “useful idiots” to admit they have been played and to vote against the progressive communist democrats now infesting our nation?

Most people are not engaged and are clueless.  Don't be a "useful idiot."

We are so screwed.

IT CAN'T BE MORE SICKENING...

Slimy Adam Schiff has some thoughts on the Durham Report...

SCHIFF-TRUST-ME

Send money...

Schiff-senate

Stephen, the Trump administration’s hand-picked special prosecutor just released a report that failed to find the deep state conspiracy theory Trump promised. Instead, Durham’s effort to discredit the FBI resulted in two failed prosecutions, and brought no new meaningful insight to an inquiry performed by the DOJ’s inspector general years earlier.

[OCS: Trump's Attorney General, William Barr, no friend of Donald Trump, named John Durham as a Special Counsel for his long history of righteous investigations and prosecutions without regard to political affiliations. Adam Schiff is a bald-faced liar to assert that Durham did not find a deep-state conspiracy.]

No one could be more disappointed than Trump and his chief enabler, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. So it’s no surprise that McCarthy chose today to deflect questions about whether George Santos should resign while facing 13 felony charges — and instead suggested live on Fox News that the GOP should remove me from Congress entirely. All because Durham’s investigation was a bust.

[OCS: Given that Adam Schiff, the Chairman of the United States House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, was one of the most virulent of Trump's persecutors full well knew the truth about the Clinton Hoax and yet refused to take action to stop the ongoing travesty and assault on our democracy. Time after time, Schiff intimated he had classified information that proved Trump was guilty beyond a shadow of a doubt -- but refused to produce his so-called proof of misconduct.]

Mc-carthy-insertMcCarthy has already removed me from the Intelligence Committee. Now, it sounds like he’s interested in kicking me completely out of Congress.

[OCS: Technically, it appears that Adam Schiff participated in a coup to overthrow the legitimately elected President of the United States. He should be tried for treason, not just removed from Congress.]

McCarthy’s constituents in California lack clean air and clean water, and lack access to broadband, and have hospitals closing down — but he can’t be bothered to do anything about it. He’s too busy trying to please the extreme MAGA crowd.

[OCS: It is the progressive communist democrats who control California that have destroyed the formerly Golden State of California, and no amount of federal funds could remedy the situation. Schiff was elected to represent his district, and it appears he represents the Democrat Party first and Hillary Clinton second.]

Well, if Kevin McCarthy won’t represent his constituents in the House, I will represent them in the Senate.

[OCS: If your corrupt, unethical behavior in the House indicates how you will act in the Senate, there is no hope for California if you manage to be elected to the Senate.]

Stephen, we HAVE to respond to this latest attack. Rush an urgent donation to send a message to McCarthy loud and clear — we’re not going anywhere >>

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

[OCS: It appears that ActBlue may be complicit in processing thousands of untraceable bogus donations.]

As-dThe harder that MAGA Republicans fight us, the more important it is that we fight back.

Since the day McCarthy removed me from the Intelligence Committee, to the day I announced this campaign, to this very moment, McCarthy has been fighting me tooth and nail.

He’s willing to use a Trump administration political operative’s report to smear me once again while excusing criminal behavior and serial dishonesty within his own caucus.

[OCS: The mischaracterization of the Durham Report is outrageous, typical of Schiff's slimy politics.]

But that’s the MAGA Republican Party for you — pure projection and hypocrisy.

I need your support to fight back against these attacks. Rush $10 or any amount to our campaign to help.

Thanks, team,

Adam

Schiff's real game?

It appears to me that Schiff is unlikely to be elected to replace Diane Feinstein and is raising an enormous sum of money to purchase a position in any upcoming Democrat Administration or to trade for future favors.

Bottom line...

DURHAM REPORT: NOTHING TO SEE HERE, MOVE ALONG

Hillary-above the law

The real story, other than the obvious abuse of power by government officials for political purposes, is the failure of the media to honestly investigate the events of the day and to truthfully present them to the public.

While the report highlights procedural deficiencies and abuses of power within the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, it does not deal with the complicit collusion between people who were or became aware of Hillary Clinton's Russia collusion hoax. People like President Obama, Vice President Biden, national security adviser Susan Rice, deputy attorney general Sally Yates, and FBI Director James Comey could have spoken out before the matter escalated into a scandal of historical proportions.  

The media is loath to admit they were wrong, acted as propagandists for the Democrat Party, and materially interfered with a presidential election.

800px-The_New_York_Times_logoDurham Finds Fault With F.B.I. Over Russia Inquiry

The special counsel’s final report nevertheless did not produce blockbuster revelations of politically motivated misconduct, as Donald J. Trump and his allies had suggested it would.

[OCS: This is not the story, but a version of the "Republicans Pounce" meme.]

John H. Durham, the Trump-era special counsel who for four years has pursued a politically fraught investigation into the Russia inquiry, accused the F.B.I. of having “discounted or willfully ignored material information” that countered the narrative of collusion between Donald J. Trump and Russia in a final report made public on Monday.

Mr. Durham’s 306-page report revealed little substantial new information about the inquiry, known as Crossfire Hurricane, and it failed to produce the kinds of blockbuster revelations accusing the bureau of politically motivated misconduct that former President Donald J. Trump and his allies suggested Mr. Durham would uncover.

Instead, the report — released without substantive comment or any redactions by Attorney General Merrick B. Garland — largely recounted previously exposed flaws in the inquiry, while concluding that the F.B.I. suffered from confirmation bias and a “lack of analytical rigor” as it pursued leads about Mr. Trump’s ties to Russia.

“An objective and honest assessment of these strands of information should have caused the F.B.I. to question not only the predication for Crossfire Hurricane, but also to reflect on whether the F.B.I. was being manipulated for political or other purposes,” he wrote. “Unfortunately, it did not.”   <Source>


2560px-The_Logo_of_The_Washington_Post_Newspaper.svgDurham report sharply criticizes FBI’s 2016 Trump campaign probe

Special counsel John Durham has issued a long-awaited report that sharply criticizes the FBI for investigating the 2016 Trump campaign based on “raw, unanalyzed, and uncorroborated intelligence” — a conclusion that may fuel rather than end partisan debate about politicization within the Justice Department and FBI.

Durham was tapped in 2019 by President Donald Trump’s attorney general, William P. Barr, to reexamine how government agents hunted for possible links between the Trump campaign and Russian efforts to interfere in the presidential election. The very appointment — of an investigator to reinvestigate the investigators — led to significant criticism from current and former law enforcement officials.

The report, coming almost four years to the day since Durham’s assignment began, will probably be derided by Democrats as the end of a partisan boondoggle. Republicans will have to wrestle with a much-touted investigation that has cost taxpayers more than $6.5 million and didn’t send a single person to jail, even though Trump once predicted that Durham would uncover the “crime of the century.”

On Monday, Trump nevertheless claimed victory, posting on social media that the report showed “the American Public was scammed, just as it is being scammed right now by those who don’t want to see GREATNESS for AMERICA!”

Much of the FBI conduct described by the Durham report was previously known and had been denounced in a 2019 report by the Justice Department’s inspector general, which did not find “documentary or testimonial evidence of intentional misconduct.”

Durham goes further in his criticism, however, arguing that the FBI rushed to investigate Trump in a case known as Crossfire Hurricane, even as it proceeded cautiously on allegations related to then-Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. In particular, the report notes that while the FBI warned Clinton’s team when agents learned of possible evidence by a foreign actor to garner influence with her, agents did not give a similar defensive briefing to the Trump campaign before quickly launching an investigation.

The FBI’s handling of key aspects of the case was “seriously deficient,” Durham wrote, causing the agency “severe reputational harm.” That failure could have been prevented if FBI employees hadn’t embraced “seriously flawed information” and instead followed their “own principles regarding objectivity and integrity,” the report said.

As examples of confirmation bias by the FBI, Durham cites: the FBI decision to go forward with the probe despite “a complete lack of information from the Intelligence Community that corroborated the hypothesis upon which the Crossfire Hurricane investigation was predicated”; agents ignoring information that exonerated key suspects in the case; and the FBI being unable to corroborate “a single substantive allegation” in a dossier of Trump allegations compiled by British former spy Christopher Steele. <Source>

Bottom line...

What can I say? Justice no longer exists in a two-tiered politically motivated judicial system where Democrat wrongdoing is ignored or punished lightly, and Republicans are prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

I would not be surprised to see Hunter Biden awarded the Presidential Medal.

We are so screwed.

SPOT THE COMMUNIST CRETINS

CONGRESS

You would be surprised at the extent to which communists have infiltrated our exceptional American government, infrastructure, and culture…

Communists, under whatever label they are currently using (Marxist, Socialist, Liberal, Progressive, Democratic Socialist, Leftist, Collectivist, Neo-Marxist, Maoist, Trotskyite, Leninist, etc.), have done a thorough job in discrediting and disgracing Senator Joseph McCarthy, who became well-known during the early 1950s for his efforts to identify and expose alleged communists and communist sympathizers in the United States. The sad truth is the communists won even though McCarthy was correct in his assertions.

Unveiling the Signs: How to Identify Marxists in Today's World

By paying attention to indicators such as a focus on class struggle, critiques of capitalism, talk of Critical race theory, “Trans rights,” Climate change, ESG–Environmental, Social and Governance, support for collectivism, and emphasis on social justice, you can start to recognize potential signs of Marxist leanings.

  1. Advocacy for Class Struggle: Marxism emphasizes class struggle, asserting that society is divided into two primary classes: the oppressors and the oppressed. Everything is about a power struggle, and you must join the cause to address class disparities and inequality.

  2. Critique of Capitalism: One of the fundamental tenets of Marxism is the critique of capitalism, especially by those who have profited greatly from the capitalist system and are now insulated from the consequences of their beliefs and behavior by their position and wealth. They are walking contradictions of the claim that capitalism equals exploitation.

  3. Support for Collectivism and Social Ownership: Those who promote the idea of collective ownership and control over means of production often have little or n assets and thus have no skin in the game.

  4. Emphasis on Social Justice and Equality: Individuals who strongly emphasize social justice and equality, aiming to create a society where all individuals have equal opportunities and access to resources, are excusing their lack of achievement because they are prevented from achieving their true potential or are virtue signaling.

  1. Criticism of Imperialism and Colonialism: Outside of the British Empire and the Soviet Union, those who view imperialism and colonialism as extensions of capitalist exploitation do not understand history or recognize the progress that Imperialism and Colonialism brought to backward populations. They believe that the whole world is responsible for the economic and social inequalities perpetuated by these systems and advocate for wealth redistribution to address historical grievances.

  2. Emphasis on Intersectionality: Intersectionality, the recognition of overlapping systems of oppression based on race, gender, class, and other social categories, is simply a method for compounding grievances and achieving superior ranking within the realm of marginalized individuals.

  3. Support for Labor Movements and Unions: Marxism places great importance on the power and rights of the working class and regards organizing individuals as a means of achieving political power. Collective bargaining has given way to destructive political corruption.

  4. Critique of Bourgeois Culture: Marxists often question and challenge the values, norms, traditions, and cultural practices associated with the affluent or middle class within a capitalist society.

  5. Advertising: Marxists often advertise with symbolism. Feting pictures of Marx, mass murder Che Guevara, or sporting the logos of such groups as Black Lives Matter, Antifa, Democratic Socialists of America, and others.

The difficulty comes from identifying the useful idiots who have little or no clue about the nonsense they are spouting, the joiners who want to belong to something, the excitement seekers and those wanting to get laid, and the true believers.

Bottom line…

You can’t win the argument with logic or by citing facts. The opposition's emotionalism proves that emotion trumps facts.

The key is to point out painful situations like rising food and gas prices. Wonder if a regime change might fix things. Don’t argue; just walk away.

Remember, there will always be those who will listen to their friends, corrupt legacy media, and the guy in his basement as they refuse to take the time and effort to make their own inquiries.

We are so screwed as the elites manipulate the gullible minorities for their own tyrannical purposes.

BIDEN'S UN-AMERICAN RACE-BAITING AT HOWARD UNIVERSITY

I detested our first communist race-baiting president Barack Obama, but I loathe our current racist President, Joe Biden, an empty vessel whose very existence depends on a cadre of Obama’s acolytes who act as his handlers.

BullshitTroubling excerpts from Joe Biden…

Wh-logo

May 13, 2023

Remarks by President Biden at the Howard University Class of 2023 Commencement Address

But after the election and the re-election of the first Black American President, I had hoped that the fear of violence and hate was significantly losing ground.

[OCS: Before Barack Obama, racial hatred was on the decline. President Obama did everything he could to racialize America further and deepen the divide between the races as he pursued his communist identity politics.]

After being — no longer being Vice President, I became a professor at the University of Pennsylvania for four years.  But in 2017, in Charlottesville, Virginia, crazed neo-Nazis with angry faces came out of the fields with — literally with torches, carrying Nazi banners from the woods and the fields chanting the same antisemitic bile heard across Europe in the ‘30s.  Something that I never thought I would ever see in America.
Accompanied by Klansmen and white supremacists, emerging from dark rooms and remote fields and the anonymity of the Internet, confronting decent Americans of all backgrounds standing in their way, into the bright light of day.  And a young woman objecting to their presence was killed.

[OCS: Biden’s professorship was most a non-teaching, no-show position funded by the Chinese Communists. Anti-Semitism is endemic in the Democrat Party, and former President Obama was raised in an anti-Semitic, anti-White, and anti-America environment by known communists.]

And what did you hear?  That famous quote.  When asked about what happened, that famous quote.  “There are very fine people on both sides.”
That’s when I knew — and I’m not joking — that’s when I knew I had to stay engaged and get back into public life.  (Applause.)  No, I — I don’t say it for that reason.  I say it for the journey.

[OCS: The quote is deliberately taken out of context and refers to those participants marching for and against the removal of a monument to Confederate General Robert E. Lee. It did not refer to the neo-Nazis who were staging their own protest. The full quote, in context, was…

"You also had some very fine people on both sides," Trump said in 2017. "You had people in that group that were there to protest the taking down, of to them, a very, very important statue and the renaming of a park from Robert E. Lee to another name. You had people -- and I'm not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists; they should be condemned totally -- you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists." <Source>

You can almost always tell when Joe Biden is lying through his false teeth as his “tell” is “I’m not joking.”]

And that’s why we know this truth as well: Silence is complicity.  (Applause.)  It cannot remain silent.  We are live through this battle for the soul of the nation.  And it is still a battle for the soul of the nation.

[OCS: Silence is not complicity, and Americans are not required or expected to vocalize their opinions on every subject, especially controversial ones. The “soul of the nation” is built around freedom, liberty, and justice for all. All of which have been significantly degraded by the progressive communist democrats and their puppets such as Joe Biden.] 

But on the best days, enough of us have the guts and the hearts to st- — to stand up for the best in us.  To choose love over hate, unity over disunion, progress over retreatTo stand up against the poison of white supremacy, as I did in my Inaugural Address — to single it out as the most dangerous terrorist threat to our homeland is white supremacy.  (Applause.)

[OCS: I would sincerely suggest that the most dangerous threat to our homeland is not “white supremacy,” but the Democrat Party seeking to destroy America from within. The Democrats are teaching hate – witness telling children you are either an oppressor or the oppressed based on your skin color – disunity as the Democrats attempt to use identity politics to divide the nation, and the apparent retreat from the progress of the past as the Democrats fight growth and further industrialization.]

And I’m not saying this because I’m at a Black HBCU.  I say it wherever I go.

[OCS: This is a lie, as his pre-written teleprompter-driven speeches are designed for his specific audience. Often Biden demonstrates his racist tendencies by claiming, “If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.”]

To stand up for truth over lies — lies told for power and profit. 

[OCS: The Democrat Party is demonstrably the party of disinformation, propaganda, and censorship. They routinely tell lies for political power and profit.]

To confront the ongoing assault to subvert our elections and suppress our right to vote.  That assault came just as you cast your first ballots in ‘20 and ‘22.  Record turnouts.  You delivered historic progress.
I made it clear that America — Americans of all backgrounds have an obligation to call out political violence that has been unleashed and emboldened.  As was mentioned already, bomb threats to this very university and HBCUs across the country.

[OCS: The democrats have subverted our elections. They have suppressed the GOP vote. They have disenfranchised thousands of voters. The Democrats are the party of political violence. Antifa and the communist front group Black Lives Matter are Democrat shock troops that amazingly escape investigation and prosecution by the Democrat-controlled Administration – even after murder, mayhem, and over two billion dollars' worth of damage to public and private property.]

To put democracy on the ballot.  To reject political extremism and reject political violence.

[OCS: Democracy is on the ballot, and the Democrats represent political extremism and violence.]

Protect fundamental rights and freedoms for women to choose and for transgender children to be free.  (Applause.)

[OCS: Where was the fundamental "right to choose" for Americans when it came to vaccines with life-altering consequences? Where is the psychological help for those suffering from gender dysphoria rather than promoting chemical castration and genital mutilation? And where is the protection for viable pre-birth Americans just as they are about to be delivered?]

For affordable healthcare and housing.  (Applause.)

[OCS: It is Democrat policies, including unrestricted immigration, that has destroyed affordable healthcare and housing. The Democrats despise personal independence and suburban living in favor of Soviet-style high-rise housing clusters and mass transit.]

For the right to raise your family and retire with dignity.

[OCS: The Democrats battle against the nuclear family and are pushing retirement beyond reach with their fiscal policies and profligate spending.]

To stand with leaders of your generation who give voice to the people, demanding action on gun violence only to be expelled from state legislative bodies.  (Applause.)

[OCS: The Democrats do not accept your inalienable right to self-defense. They want to disarm a law-abiding public and make them vulnerable to criminals, crazies, and terrorists until they beg for government protection. Guns are not the problem – it’s the lack of crime control in Democrat-governed areas and the lack of mental health facilities. The Democrats overlook victims and treat criminals as the victims of a systemically corrupt society. They release criminals into our communities and refuse to prosecute crime.]

To stand against books being banned and Black history being erased.  (Applause.)  I’m serious.  Think about it.

[OCS: Yes, think about it. Prohibiting pornographic LGBTQ+xyz literature from young children in schools. Teaching an alternate history of the United States from a patently false black perspective.]

To stand up for the best in us.

And today, I come here to Howard to continue the work to redeem the soul of this nation, because it’s here where I see the future.  And I’m not — that’s not hyperbole.

[OCS: Biden is lying again. He is not concerned with the soul of this nation. He is concerned with getting off the stage, being rewarded with a chocolate-chip ice cream cone, and being allowed to watch his favorite TV programs.]

We can finally resolve those ongoing questions about who we are as a nation.  That puts strength of our diversity at the center of American life.  A future that celebrates and learns from history.  A future for all Americans.  A future I see you leading.  And I’m not, again, exaggerating.  You are going to be leading it.  <Source: White House Briefing Room>

[OCS: The Democrats are erasing history and substituting their own version. And, because children are no longer being taught conventional history in our public schools, they do not know the difference and accept Democrat deceptions.]

Bottom line…

When will the GOP stand up and tell the truth about race relations in the United States?

It was the Democrat Party that supported slavery, segregation, secession, Jim Crow, and the KKK and fought against civil rights to the bitter end. It is a corrupt Democrat Party that has diverted billions of dollars from majorly black inner cities and perpetuates education policies that keep blacks from an education that would set them free from economic slavery and allow them to enjoy the American way of life. It is a corrupt Democrat Party that enables race baiters and hustlers to thrive within their political infrastructure.

Until the GOP finds the balls to fight communism and the communist-infiltrated Democrat Party once again, we are screwed.
