Progressives are trying to replace Independence Day with Juneteenth

Progressives, and other leftists here in the United States, demonstrate a very open and deep loathing for the founding principles of the United States.   They have been on a decades long mission to transform the United States from a Constitutional Republic, built upon individual rights and freedoms, into to socialist Democracy built upon collectivism.

These collectivists have been using the fictional 1619 Project to erase Independence Day as the founding date of our nation.  They are trying to erase the fact that the United Sates was built on freedom and liberty.  They want to concentrate all attention on slavery and away from all of the positives this great nation has achieved.

Juneteenth is another effort similar to the the 1619 project.  Most Americans are still unaware of what Juneteenth is all about.  This article provides a great explanation: Juneteenth becomes federal holiday after Biden signs bill (cnbc.com)

Juneteenth celebrates the emancipation of the last enslaved African Americans. On that day in 1865, Union soldiers led by Gen. Gordon Granger arrived in the coastal city of Galveston, Texas, to deliver General Order No. 3, officially ending slavery in the state.

The final act of liberation came months after the Confederate army’s surrender ended the Civil War, and more than two years after President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation.

On the surface Juneteenth seems rather innocuous and actually maybe positive.  This article, however, documents the sinister motivation behind the holiday: Juneteenth Threatens America’s Civic Traditions (thefederalist.com)

The very name of the legislation is incredibly revealing. Referring to it as a “National Independence Day” — as opposed to the Fourth of July, America’s original Independence Day, that doesn’t enjoy the “national” language — is semantic manipulation intended to convey that this is the real independence day. This bestowal of honor on Juneteenth is an exercise in refounding the country in accordance with the priorities of the intersectional identitarian left (e.g., direct democracy, expansive legal privileges for preferential political groups, and the weaponization of government against “bitter clingers”) in the pursuit of casting aside the few remaining constitutional and republican norms of the American founding such as a societal reverence for natural law and federalism.

Those of us on the political right need to stand tall and prevent the left from replacing our true Independence Day with Juneteenth.  We need to stand strong for our nation and our founding principles. 

The Biden Regime is planning on placing all aspects of life under direct federal control to fight the plague of loneliness

Vivek Murthy, the Surgeon General under Joe Biden, issued one of the most alarming and tyrannical proposals ever issued by any federal government official.  This proposal, which is intended to combat our nonexistent plague of loneliness and isolation, is the type of madness that would be all too common is North Korea, Communist China, or the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin. 

Most of us have not heard of this insane proposal,  I would not have if it wasn’t for this article: To Address Loneliness, The Feds Want To Control Your Friends (thefederalist.com)

US. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy recently released an advisory titled “Our Epidemic of Loneliness and Isolation.” It warns that social isolation is a major public health problem. The 81-page document presents six government-directed “pillars” of action to address the health hazards of social isolation.

On the surface, these six directives may look innocuous, but they present a clear and present danger to the autonomy of our private lives and relationships. The project is potentially so massive in scope that it’s not an overstatement to say it threatens to regulate our freedom of association in ways we never could have imagined.

This proposal is the most unconstitutional proclamation ever issued by any administration.  It turns the Constitution completely on its head,  reaching down to control aspects of life that no other administration ever dreamed of controlling. 

The Constitution does not grant the federal government the authority to regulate any aspect of life inside any state.  The federal government granted itself that authority when it grossly distorted the plain meaning of the Interstate Commerce Clause.  Look at how far this proposal strays from the original meaning of the Constitution.

The first stated goal is to “strengthen social infrastructure in local communities.” It defines “social infrastructure” as the regular events and institutions that make up community life, and says the federal government should both fund local organizations and direct how they’re structured, including their locations. This can only mean that all local communities must answer to the federal bureaucracy in the quest to strengthen social connections among people.

The advisory warns that participation is mandatory if the plan is to work: “It will take all of us — individuals, families, schools, and workplaces, health care and public health systems, technology companies, governments, faith organizations, and communities — working together…”

This next article, Feds Sketch Blueprint For Regulating Everyone’s Private Life (thefederalist.com), documents just how utterly tyrannical this proposal is.

The advisory foreshadows an unprecedented invasion of private spaces by the federal government that could completely undermine our most fundamental freedoms. If fully implemented, the project could place the federal government in de facto control of your local community and social associations of every kind. It also threatens to dictate what you can say, what values you should have, and what associations are acceptable. It seems poised to reinforce that control with surveillance.

The project also calls for mass compliance with leftist agenda items embedded within the report. Here’s a choice quote: “government has a responsibility to use its authority to monitor and mitigate the public health harm caused by policies, products and services that drive social disconnection. … Diversity, equity, inclusion, [DEI] and accessibility are critical components of any such strategy.” This can only result in the perpetuation of social hostilities and coercion inherent in DEI policies.

Stolen elections most definitely have the most negative consequences.  If this is actually implemented, there is no turning back.  Unfortunately I have no faith that the Republican Party will lift a single finger to fight this tyranny.

One tiny Christian college is fighting the good fight against  Biden’s transgender insanity

The political left are a rather tyrannical lot.  Their primary function in life is to force everyone else to follow their warped and twisted world view. Their preferred mode of operation is to infect all levels of government with their ideology, then use government force to coerce everyone else to follow their madness. 

Transgenderism is the most perfect example of this.  Progressives have been using government coercion to try and ensure everyone in the United States plays along with this mass psychosis.

It is bad enough when progressives cram this ideology down the throats of ordinary Americans.  It is absolutely unconscionable when they force religious institutions to comply because that would be a very direct violation of the Free Exercise of Religion Clause of the First Amendment.

This headline made me nauseous when is first read it.  It also made be happy because this small college was fighting back: Tiny Christian College Goes on Offensive as Biden Tries Forcing Female Students to Share Dorm Rooms – Even Showers – with Men (westernjournal.com)

In one of his first official acts in the Oval Office, Biden signed an executive order that redefined the terms “sex,” “sexual orientation” and “gender identity.”

Three weeks later, Biden’s Department of Housing and Urban Development issued new rules requiring schools to open their women’s dormitories — showers and all — to men who “identify” as women.

No exemptions were allowed, even for religious institutions.

The colleges justification for fighting back was right on point.

The Christian college, located in Point Lookout, Missouri, filed a lawsuit against Biden and his administration, arguing that the historical interpretation of the Fair Housing Act confirms that “sex” means biological sex.

The college also argued that not only does the Biden executive order violate the school’s constitutional right to “operate consistently with their religious beliefs,” but also that there should have been a public notice and comment period before such a drastic change was made.

This next quote proves just how far from the original meaning of the Constitution the entire federal court system has shifted.

In September, a three-judge panel from the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed the case and denied a petition for the matter to be heard by the full court.

College of the Ozarks and its law firm, Alliance Defending Freedom, responded in February by asking the U.S. Supreme Court to review the case.

This next paragraph fills me with hope.

Recognizing the high stakes involved in the case, a number of other Christian colleges have submitted friend-of-the-court briefs supporting the suit brought by the College of the Ozarks. Nineteen states and numerous advocacy groups have done likewise.

The Biden Regime used the FBI to spy on hundreds of thousands of Americans

A federal judge provided proof that the Federal Bureau of Investigation under Joe Biden spied on hundreds of thousands of Americans.  This is an exceedingly egregious violation of the Fourth Amendment.  Sadly this is far from an isolated incident,   It seems like similar instances have occurred on almost of monthly basis.

No occupant of the White House has proved to be more hostile to the fundamental rights and freedoms of the American people.

This article provides all of the shocking details of this massive abuse of the Fourth Amendment: New Revelations of Spying Just Made the FBI’s Week Even Worse (townhall.com)

The Federal Bureau of Investigation is under fire yet again this week after a federal judge revealed the government agency illegally spied on hundreds-of-thousands of Americans without a warrant between 2020 and 2021. 

The revelation came just one day after three FBI agents testified before the House Judiciary Committee and Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government as whistleblowers concerned about the mass surveillance of Americans without proper cause or a warrant. The agents had their security clearances revoked and faced retaliation after bringing the issue to superiors. 

This mass spying by the FBI was conducted under the FISA Court process.  I have been a very harsh critic of the entire FISA process because It is deeply unconstitutional and ripe for abuse.  I never believed the FISA Court would restrict its spying to foreign targets.  I have been proved right repeatedly.

The FBI supposedly did implement FISA reforms to prevent abuse.   These reforms did absolutely nothing

On Monday the FBI claimed FISA reforms had been implemented to prevent political targeting or abuse of the FISA process. The FBI released a statement after Special Counsel John Durham published a lengthy report showing extensive misconduct at the Bureau during the 2016 presidential election, including rampant FISA abuse and tampering of warrant applications issued against Trump campaign officials. 

The FISA Court system violates four provisions ot the Fourth Amendment.

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

FISA warrants are issues en mass instead of on specific individuals that are named.  No probable cause is given.  No oath if affirmation is given.  The place being searched on not listed.
