Daily News Roundup
NOTABLE QUOTES
Martyr Made contributor to The American Mind: We learned from a February 2021 Time Magazine article that a shadowy cabal of powerful interests—their words, not mine—worked behind the scenes to “fortify” the election; that the organizers of the George Floyd protests were on weekly conference calls with media figures, Democratic party operatives, and state and local officials to make sure that all their efforts were in sync. “The organizers who helped lead the racial justice uprising sparked by George Floyd’s killing in May wanted to harness the movement for the 2020 election,” we were told. These are the same groups that planned protests—riots—in 400 cities, with troops in place “ready to be activated via text message as soon as November 4… To stop the coup they feared, the left was ready to flood the streets.” The most powerful institutions in the country were planning nationwide mass political violence in every town of 50,000 people or more if the election didn’t go their way.
John Fund & Hans von Spakovsky contributors to American Greatness: We can expect liberals to work even harder in future elections to change the rules to make it easier to cheat and easier to manipulate election results. That is what they tried to do, with some success, in the 2020 election. We should expect them to do it through legislation, litigation, and unconstitutional, unilateral executive actions by their political allies in state government. The results may be, as Justice Thomas said, catastrophic to the integrity and security of the election process.
Sundance contributor to The Conservative Treehouse: Barack Obama and Eric Holder did not create a weaponized DOJ and FBI; the institutions were already weaponized by the Patriot Act. Instead, what Obama and Holder did was to take the preexisting system and retool it so the weapons of government only targeted one side of the political continuum.
WVW Broadcast: An FBI SWAT team raided the home of an activist mother of three in Colorado on Tuesday, Nov. 16, knocking down her door, bursting into the house and handcuffing her while she was homeschooling her children.
Sundance contributor to The Conservative Treehouse: The people who control the current White House occupant have released a statement setting the stage for the federal government to trigger a DOJ investigation of Kyle Rittenhouse. The Obama crew is leaning forward to trigger AG Merrick Garland by expressing that Joe Biden is “feeling angry and concerned“

Sherwin: How 12 ordinary Americans saved their country
At 12:17 P.M. Friday, while I was on a conference call, trying not to think about the trial going on in Kenosha, I got a text message from a good friend. “You called it. Acquitted on all counts.” I felt a profound sense of relief. I didn’t even realize how tense I have been all week waiting for this. Watching the video of the moment they announced the verdicts on the indictment, I cried with him. I am sure many others in America did as well. I know nothing of Kyle Rittenhouse other than what I have seen this past year. […] . . . we also need to remember that twelve people, tried and true, a real jury of Kyle Rittenhouse’s peers, shut out the lunatics, shut out MSNBC, the president of the United States, the race-baiters, those who yelled outside the courthouse for days and did something that this country’s founders envisioned them to do. They sat in a courtroom for two weeks. They listened and they watched and they considered without prejudice or guile. […] These twelve people deserve our gratitude. Yes, they saved Kyle Rittenhouse. But they also vindicated the founders, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights and saved all the rest of us as well. God bless them for their sanity and their courage. And God bless America.

Schow: Here Are The Most Insane Leftist Responses To The Kyle Rittenhouse Verdict
Leftist politicians, celebrities, activists, and commentators have had numerous insane responses to Kyle Rittenhouse being found not guilty on all charges in the deaths of Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber, as well as the injury of Gaige Grosskreutz. […] Despite all the evidence and facts of the case, Leftists committed to the narrative that Rittenhouse was guilty took to Twitter and mainstream media outlets to give their opinions. “White supremacy” appeared to be the word of the day, even though Rittenhouse and his attackers were all white. […] Here are some of the worst responses: . . .

Made: America on the Verge
America still stands on the precipice of a dark abyss. The fact is, we live in a society where mass political violence has been normalized, and because it’s being used as a political and ideological bludgeon to threaten and intimidate the people of this country, the authorities have abdicated their responsibility to protect life and property. The people who have created these conditions are the same baying for the blood of Kyle Rittenhouse for defending himself from three of their own. But this is still America, and it is the people—not the media, not the politicians, not the celebrities or bureaucrats or activists, but only a jury of Kyle Rittenhouse’s peers—who render final judgment on the righteousness of his actions. Sometimes the good guys win. We celebrate the just exoneration of Kyle Rittenhouse. But we must remain aware that the Left has a longer memory than we do, and typically exacts steep costs for their occasional defeats.

Fred T.: Mike Pence vows to SUPPORT all RINO governors AGAINST Trump-endorsed primary challenges!
“I want to be clear,” Pence told the Republican Governors Association last week. “I’m going to be supporting incumbent Republican governors.” You know why he wanted to make that clear? Why it was of immediate interest? Because President Trump is promising to CLEAN HOUSE. So the RGA, long a supporter of establishment hacks, got worried. And Pence swooped in to give them his personal assurances. […] Trump is backing primary challenges against HALF of the sitting GOP governors. And those are the ones Mike Pence is going to be supporting. It’s a direct, calculated, and deliberate move against Trump and Trump-backed candidates.”

JANUARY 6
Mastrangelo: Two Fox News contributors quit over Tucker Carlson’s Jan. 6 documentary
A pair of Fox News contributors have quit their roles at the network, saying prime-time host Tucker Carlson‘s recent documentary series examining the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol was a breaking point. Stephen Hayes and Jonah Goldberg, two leading conservative writers and pundits who have regularly appeared on the network since 2009, announced they had finalized their resignations from Fox following the release of Carlson’s controversial documentary. News of the pair’s departure was first reported by the New York Times on Sunday evening. […] “In reality, it is a collection of incoherent conspiracy-mongering, riddled with factual inaccuracies, half-truths, deceptive imagery, and damning omissions. And its message is clear: The U.S. government is targeting patriotic Americans in the same manner — and with the same tools — that it used to target al Qaeda,” they added. [NOTE: Both are never Trumpers.]

AN AMERICA IN DECLNE
RealClearWire: Pushing Back On Administrative Growth
With every new perceived emergency, we witness a rise in the power of the administrative state. Agencies with no accountability to the people or the government’s elected officers. Even when there is no emergency, the growth of the administrative state goes quietly unnoticed. Fighting the growth of the leviathan is not as difficult as it seems. Action can be taken at the state level. The administrative state has grown so large and complex that it can no longer be held accountable by the citizenry or elected officials. The Federal Register currently has 71,222 pages of complex codes and regulations which is an increase of 2,104 pages from 2019. There are currently more than 2.1 million civilian workers in the federal workforce across more than 400 agencies. Congress has become dependent upon administrative agencies to interpret and enforce the laws it passes while leaving it to the courts to interpret whether the agencies are operating in accordance with congressional consent. At each step of the process the citizens get further removed from the process. This process can be reversed at the state level.

U.S. SUPREME COURT FAILED THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
(Worth your time to read) Fund & von Spakovsky: Taking Advantage of the COVID Pandemic to Change the Way We Vote
Rahm Emanuel, the former mayor of Chicago and chief of staff for President Barack Obama, famously said in 2008 that you should never let “a serious crisis go to waste” because it is “an opportunity to do things that you think you could not do before.” Liberals in 2020 took Emanuel’s political tenet to heart and used the COVID-19 pandemic to try to implement through litigation and executive actions by state government officials the reckless changes in voting and election procedures that they had been wanting for years. That effort involved voiding basic security protocols on election procedures, including absentee ballots, and pushing for the equivalent of all-mail elections, which would give their activists a free hand in pressuring, coercing, and influencing voters in their homes in ways they are unable to do in polling places. To force these changes, they ended up filing more election-related lawsuits than had ever been filed in an election year in U.S. history. The prior record was almost 200 lawsuits before and after the 2000 election when George W. Bush beat Al Gore; by late October 2020, more than 400 election-related lawsuits had been filed across the nation, the overwhelming majority by the Left. […] Probably the best and most succinct description of this parade of events is contained in the well-written and well-researched motion and complaint that Texas attempted to file with the Supreme Court on December 8, 2020, against Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin over their “rampant lawlessness.” Texas was asking the court for permission to file the lawsuit and issue an order that would temporarily prevent those states from certifying their election results. Under applicable Supreme Court rules, a state suing another state first must receive permission from the court. Unfortunately for the rule of law and the administration of elections as directed by the U.S. Constitution, the court dodged what might have been one of the most politically volatile but vitally important cases it has ever handled. […] The one case remaining at the U.S. Supreme Court after the Texas filing was dismissed was the Pennsylvania case, which had been refiled in the court after the 2020 election. Yet on February 22, the Supreme Court rejected the appeal for the third and final time and refused to do anything to stop the unilateral changes in Pennsylvania election law made before the November 2020 election in violation of the U.S. Constitution. The only dissenting justice was Clarence Thomas. As he pointed out</strong out…

THE DEMOCRAT LED WAR ON CHILDREN
Westin: The LGBT mob is coming after our children: It’s time to fight back
The way we treat our most vulnerable has always been the mark of a civilized society and with our abortion and euthanasia laws it is obvious that we are anything but a civilized society. In fact, in today’s world, children are targeted with abuse. Yes, children, and this should come as no surprise to us because we knew this was coming. I’m going to show you how teachers are trying to convince parents their toddlers are transsexual, schools are taking children to gay bars, and they are indoctrinating children into the woke agenda while actively concealing it from parents. Let’s first go to Florida, . .

BIDEN/HARRIS/OBAMA REGIME: TRANSFORMING AMERICA
Donohue: Biden Escalates War on Religious Liberty With Treatments for the ‘Socially Infertile’
Never has religious liberty been more seriously threatened than it is today. That the man responsible for this all-out assault professes to be a Catholic is all the more offensive. It is his Office of Civil Rights (OCR) and Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) that are leading the charge. News of Biden’s latest war on religious liberty was selectively leaked to the media in mid-November. A draft memo by OCR to HHS indicates the Biden administration is planning to revoke the Trump administration’s policies governing religious liberty, including conscience rights. HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra, who has a long record of trampling on religious liberty, is working in tandem with OCR to eviscerate the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA). […] OCR is contending that the Trump Administration “took an expansive view of the use of RFRA that resulted in negative impacts for underserved communities.” Translated this means that attempts of radical homosexual and transgender activists to impose their secular agenda on religious institutions and agencies were blocked from doing so by the previous administration. The Biden team wants to undo all of that.

Sundance: Kamala Harris Rushes to Cameras to Claim Rittenhouse ‘Verdict Proves Justice System Is Not Equitable’
This is a little more interesting than Biden’s off-the-cuff remarks, because Kamala Harris was hand selected in the agreement between Barack Obama and James Clyburn to represent the public face of the professional political grievance industry. In essence, activist agitation is the primary reason why team Obama put Kamala Harris into the office of the executive. In the Rittenhouse aftermath, we see that Kamala purpose with a little more clarity. […] The Obama/Clyburn strategy succeeds through advanced Astroturf operations; that’s why they need BLM and ANTIFA. Additionally, to attain maximum benefit for their domestic transformation, they need to keep the DEMOCRAT Party base voters focused on social issues, race etc. All of this is by design…. including the emphasis on distracting things…. while everything that really matters is happening somewhere else.

Moran: House Passes Behemoth Build Back Better Act
The House passed the $1.7 trillion Build Back Better Act early on Friday morning, sending the bill to the Senate where it faces an uncertain future. The House passed H.R. 5376, the Build Back Better Act, which is the Democrats’ reconciliation infrastructure bill. The bill passed 220-213, with overwhelming Democrat support, and strong Republican opposition to the bill. Only one Democrat, Rep. Jared Golden (D-ME), a swing district Democrat, voted against the bill.

Moran: CBO: Build Back Better Act Adds $750 Billion to Deficit over Five Years
The CBO found that the Build Back Better Act would add $367 billion to the deficit; the Democrats’ official price tag is $1.75 trillion. President Joe Biden and other Democrats have claimed the bill would cost zero dollars. The nonpartisan organization also found that the bill would add roughly $160 billion to the deficit over ten years, and almost $750 billion over five years.

THE DEMOCRAT PARTY MARXIST PLAYBOOK: CRT (WOKE IDENTITY POLITICS)
VDH: The New Blue Confederacy
Why are progressive regions of the country—especially in the old major liberal cities (e.g., Chicago, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, New York, Portland, San Francisco, Seattle)—institutionalizing de facto racial quotas through “proportional representation” based on “disparate impact”? Why are they promoting ethnic and racial chauvinism, such as allowing college students to select the race of their own roommates, calibrating graduation ceremonies by skin color and tribe, segregating campus “safe spaces” by race, and banning literature that does not meet commissariat diktats? Why are they turning into one-party political fiefdoms separating the rich and poor, increasingly resembling feudal societies as members of the middle class flee or disappear? What does it mean that they are becoming more and more intolerant in their cancel culture, and quasi-religious intolerance of dissent, on issues from climate change and abortion-on-demand to critical race theory and wokeness? Isn’t it strange that there are entire states and regions wholly reliant on the money and power of “one-crop” Big Tech monopolies? And why, in the 21st century no less, are Democratic-controlled counties, cities, and entire states nullifying federal law?
