Weeks of the pillaging, looting and burning of American cities was never enough to bring Democrats in the House of Representatives back to the White House—but the alleged bounties Russia put on American soldiers in Afghanistan brought them back for a briefing this morning.

Their briefing probes “who at the White House knew about the intelligence and when”.

The same lawmakers who allow and, by their silence, even approve of mobs wiping out all American history

The answer “who knew”  “and when” is the New York Times, the same “news” outlet who led the 2016 ‘Russians-stole-the-election’ story.

Before this day is out, it will be President Donald Trump knew all along, but sat on the information.

“The delegation was led by Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md,. and also included Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., and Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Rep. Eliot Engel, D-N.Y., among others. Hoyer on Monday had demanded a briefing for all House members on the matter.”

The same lawmakers who allow and, by their silence, even approve of mobs wiping out all American history by toppling statues of past presidents, including George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln, return to past history to drive home their point:

“President Truman used to have a plaque on his desk that said ‘The buck stops here.’ President Trump’s approach seems to be, dangerously, as he has said before, ‘I don’t take responsibility at all,’” Hoyer said in a statement. “Over the weekend, we learned of allegations that our intelligence services assessed in March that Russia has been offering a monetary reward for killing American troops in Afghanistan. Outrageously, it appears that President Trump has taken no action since that time, not even warning the Russian government to stop.” (Fox News)

Why was Rep. Hoyer’s a “face covering”, in the Time of Coronavirus, while everyone else’s was a mask?

That the Pentagon has already stated there is ‘No corroborating evidence to stand up the New York Times report on Russian bounties made zero difference to the Dems who needed no coaxing to turn out for today’s briefing.

“The majority leader added: “While I will be going to the White House tomorrow for a briefing with several House Democrats, the President and his team ought to brief the full House on this serious situation immediately.” (Fox News)

“Eight House Republicans were briefed at the White House on Monday, including GOP Conference Chairwoman Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., who over the weekend demanded answers on the bounty scandal.

“She released a joint statement with Rep. Mac Thornberry, R-Texas, the ranking member of the House Armed Services Committee.

“After today’s briefing with senior White House officials, we remain concerned about Russian activity in Afghanistan, including reports that they have targeted U.S. forces. It has been clear for some time that Russia does not wish us well in Afghanistan. We believe it is important to vigorously pursue any information related to Russia or any other country targeting our forces,” the high-ranking Republicans said. “We anticipate further briefings on the issue in the coming days.”

“The White House has denied that Trump was briefed on the issue despite reporting to the contrary from outlets like the New York Times, which reported late Monday that the bounty issue was in the written President’s Daily Brief earlier this year. It has been widely reported, however, that Trump does not read the detailed brief regularly, and is more often briefed on intelligence issues verbally.

“The Associated Press further reported that top White House officials were aware in early 2019 of intelligence suggesting Russia was offering the bounties to the Taliban. This, officials told the AP, was in at least one of Trump’s written briefings at the time.

“But a senior administration official on Monday told Fox News that the president was not briefed due to a lack of clarity about the bounty allegations.

“POTUS was never briefed on this issue because there is no consensus within the intelligence community on these allegations,” the official said.

“A senior U.S. official who has been briefed on the matter told Fox News that “several intelligence streams of concern,” some contradictory, have led the NSC to discuss options regarding Russian actions in Afghanistan.”

“And the Department of Defense, through Chief Pentagon Spokesman Jonathan Hoffman, said that “[t]o date, DOD has no corroborating evidence to validate the recent allegations found in open-source reports.”

“It’s not clear whether the denials that the president had been briefed mean the intelligence never appeared in the President’s Daily Brief or that the issue was never brought up to the president personally, and seemingly conflicting information going public has muddied the issue of just how sure the government is that Russia has put bounties on American troops in Afghanistan. The White House has also denied that the issue was ever flagged to Vice President Pence.

“House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., was not one of the Democrats attending the Tuesday morning briefing at the White House, but on Monday said that she spoke with Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe and Central Intelligence Agency Director Gina Haspel about the bounty allegations. Pelosi did not say in a statement what they told her, but said that she called on the intelligence community leaders “to follow up on my formal request for a full House briefing on the intelligence surrounding Russian bounties.”

“Pelosi added: “Many serious questions remain regarding what the White House is doing to address threats to American and allied troops and to hold Russia accountable.”

“The other House Democrats involved in the Tuesday briefing are House Armed Services Committee Chairman Rep. Adam Smith, D-Wash., and Reps. Gregory Meeks, D-N.Y., Brad Sherman, D-Calif., Bill Keating, D-Mass., Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., Abigail Spanberger, D-Va., and Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich.”

The inconvenient question neither querulous Dems nor mainstream and social media aren’t asking, is if the New York Times knew about the Russian bounty allegations back in March, why did they wait until now to release them?

The original COVID-19 attempt to lockdown the US citizenry and destroy the Trump economy by shutting down businesses and our work force did not quite go as Democrats had planned.  As soon as the country began ever-so-slowly reopening, the economy—which President Trump had been instrumental in forming—began to again come alive.  The Luciferian Left Democrat Party cabal was stunned.  They had planned this out from the beginning so that there would be no chance of the US Trump economy coming back…so that their candidates would win the November elections.  Then, the now-fully-Marxist Democrat Party would retake our country and place our citizens and other inhabitants into economic bondage…forever; or until they had stolen everything from us.  Think Venezuela.  But, it didn’t work.

Today, the abject insanity we are currently experiencing has nothing to do with tearing down statues of racists.  But, it has everything to do with the eradication of our History

Now, the LL Democrat contingent is reapplying their initial plan and is beginning a new COVID-19 “scare” (more cases have been identified) and is calling for another lockdown…a lockdown with which the Dem-run States are eagerly complying.  The reason, of course, for the identification of more cases of this sometimes-very-severe-version-of-a-cold-or-flu is because we are now doing more testing; testing that was demanded by the Democrats and testing which they are now using as a weapon against President Trump and the American people.  The interesting and imperative-that-it-be-shared is that there is not an increase in deaths or hospital admissions from this “second wave” of COVID-19.  The testing process has merely shown that many people have been exposed to it and are either experiencing no symptoms, whatsoever, or the symptoms are extremely mild.

New laws have now been created out of thin air by Democrat mayors and governors…and we are expected to obey them or be arrested.  These illegal “laws” were quickly put into place when an ostensible “worst-plague-ever-since-the-Spanish-flu” came into existence.  It’s a Coronavirus and so is the common cold.  These new “non-law laws” which include staying inside your homes, wearing masks and “social distancing” everywhere unless you are part of a violent BLM and/or Antifa mob fly in the face of the US Constitution.  Yet, many of the American people have been so cowed and appear to be so afraid that they are obeying their new Masters without questioning them.

Today, the abject insanity we are currently experiencing has nothing to do with tearing down statues of racists.  But, it has everything to do with the eradication of our History.  When statues of past heroes and icons are removed and history is not truthfully taught in schools, it takes very little time to remove it from our minds.  The Marxists will then rewrite it for their own benefit.  These Marxist Antifa and BLM groups are rioting, pillaging and burning.  These ever-violent groups are forming their own “autonomous zones” and are claiming secession from and the United States of America.  Neither the Democrats (who believe they are greatly benefiting from this chaos and war being waged against the American people) nor the Republicans have, as yet, stopped them.  We are being torn apart and are experiencing either full-on support for the criminal rioters in one political party and apathy from the other.  We need a resolution and an end to this continuing madness.

To President Trump:  Sir, we-the-people need for you to speak out firmly and consequentially about the chaos and destruction now being waged as a war upon us and what you—as president—can Constitutionally effect to end this madness.  Please, we need to hear your voice and to again experience your unwavering resolve!

Last week former President Barack Obama appeared with his former Vice President “Basement” Joe Biden in a video conference. I was truly taken aback when Obama referred to what is happening in America as an “awakening,” a “movement.”

It was at that moment that I reflected upon how Obama and his administration responded to a real awakening — a movement that occurred during his presidency.

This got the attention of the left in America and Obama

In 2009, in response to the increased government spending stimulus programs and the Patient Protection Affordable Care Act, aka “Obamacare,” a constitutional conservative grassroots organization was born. The organization focused on one issue, the fiscal responsibility of the federal government. The organization called itself the TEA Party, which stood for “Taxed Enough Already.”

This movement was about restoring our constitutional Republic to its foundations, its fundamentals. Based on principle and policy, it did not agree with the Obama vision of “fundamentally transforming” these United States of America.

The reaction to the TEA Party movement was incredibly dismissive and disrespectful. “We call it AstroTurf,” Rep. Nancy Pelosi said at the time, meaning a fake grassroots movement to keep the focus on “tax cuts for the rich.”

Then came the 2010 midterm elections, Obama’s first, and it was historic. The Democrats lost their majority in the U.S. House of Representatives when 63 congressional seats shifted. I came into the political arena during this period, and I was part of that shift, based upon constitutional principle. The progressive socialist left had experienced something they were not used to — a conservative grassroots movement – local, principled, community organizing by the right.

This got the attention of the left in America and Obama. And the vitriol, the incessant attacks, increased, aimed at simple, everyday Americans who were exercising their First Amendment right to petition their government for redress of grievances. They stood up. They spoke up. They held rallies. They voted. They cleaned up after their rallies. They never enacted any form of violence. They never destroyed property. They never took over major portions of cities. They never said they were going to burn down the system.

They just voted.

Yet, the ire and angst of the Obama administration was aimed at them, as well as the collective power of the progressive socialist left, including their media accomplices. The TEA Party now found itself assailed on all fronts. They were demonized as racists, just because they disagreed with the policies of a president who just happened to be biracial but was promoted as Black. And how confounding it was when Black conservatives were embraced by the TEA Party — they were sellouts, Uncle Toms, oreos, and other disparaging monikers.

The TEA Party was denigrated as an extremist group for daring to want fiscal responsibility and discipline from their federal government

The TEA Party was denigrated as an extremist group for daring to want fiscal responsibility and discipline from their federal government. It was as if the left was declaring that our very Constitution was extreme. We all know that to not be true, but what the left was saying was that anyone disagreeing with them was an extremist. It went so far that some leftists and Democrats denounced the TEA Party as terrorists, with no proof of any violent actions.

President Obama, the Democrats, and the progressive socialist left knew one thing — they had to crush, destroy, the TEA Party before Obama’s reelection bid in 2012. And they did just that by employing the power of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

Today, we turn on the news and we see the anarchist organization, Antifa, which has been designated as a domestic terrorist organization. We have watched them enact violence in our streets, destroy property, attack those with whom they disagree.

An avowed Marxist organization that cleverly named itself Black Lives Matter is now calling for violence against our law enforcement officers, and most recently, its leader in New York City declared that if their demands were not met, they would “burn down the system.” Those are the words of insurrection, the actions of an insurgency, yet the lips of the Democrat elected officials are sealed.

And Barack Obama refers to this wanton violence, the destruction of memorials, monuments, and our history as “an awakening.” In other words, Obama and his ilk are embracing the radicalism, the despotism, the tyranny we are seeing on our streets. The media that once disparaged the TEA Party as extremists, terrorists, racists, turn a blind eye to leftist intimidation, fear, coercion, and violence.

Sadly, few are talking about this comparative analysis of how the left, the Democrat Party, unleashed the full weight of the federal government against a constitutional conservative grassroots movement. And how, in the face of abject sedition, they are all silent.

We can surrender to the “woke” mob of tyranny — or we can become “awoke” as true Patriots to our commitment to individual liberty

Let us not forget the Clinton administration and how it used the power of the federal government in Waco, Texas against the Branch Davidians. Or how little Elian Gonzalez was ripped from his family at the hands of armed federal government agents. And why is it that we allow the left to always own the narrative and refer to conservatives as violent and extremists?

Here is what we had best learn — real fast: Socialism, communism, statism, fascism, Marxism are philosophies of governance, ideologies, that cannot advance on their own merit. Advancement can happen only by what we see happening in the streets of America – fear, threats, intimidation, coercion, and violence.

That is the nature of leftism. That is why Hitler had the Brown Shirts. That is why Nicolas Maduro has the “Colectivos.” And that is why the Democrat Party has Antifa and Black Lives Matter.

The TEA Party was a grassroots movement, an awakening. What Obama will not condemn is a blatant insurrection, an insurgency — and of course he will not, because he embraces the maxim of “by any means necessary” for his fundamental transformation to come to fruition.

We have a choice to make, America.

We can surrender to the “woke” mob of tyranny — or we can become “awoke” as true Patriots to our commitment to individual liberty. Just know, you cannot compromise, appease, negotiate, or acquiesce with the mob, evil, it only emboldens them. The left is fully committed to crushing all political opposition, and Obama once asserted such.

It’s liberty or tyranny.  This week, 244 years ago, we made that decision. Time to make it again.
