There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn’t true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true. —Soren Kierkegaard. "…truth is true even if nobody believes it, and falsehood is false even if everybody believes it. That is why truth does not yield to opinion, fashion, numbers, office, or sincerity–it is simply true and that is the end of it" – Os Guinness, Time for Truth, pg.39. “He that takes truth for his guide, and duty for his end, may safely trust to God’s providence to lead him aright.” – Blaise Pascal. "There is but one straight course, and that is to seek truth and pursue it steadily" – George Washington letter to Edmund Randolph — 1795. We live in a “post-truth” world. According to the dictionary, “post-truth” means, “relating to or denoting circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief.” Simply put, we now live in a culture that seems to value experience and emotion more than truth. Truth will never go away no matter how hard one might wish. Going beyond the MSM idealogical opinion/bias and their low information tabloid reality show news with a distractional superficial focus on entertainment, sensationalism, emotionalism and activist reporting – this blogs goal is to, in some small way, put a plug in the broken dam of truth and save as many as possible from the consequences—temporal and eternal. "The further a society drifts from truth, the more it will hate those who speak it." – George Orwell “There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn’t true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true.” ― Soren Kierkegaard
Unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. (Hebrews 9:28)
This is our hope. He to whom we have already looked as coming once to bear the sins of many will have another manifestation to the sons of men; this is a happy prospect in itself. But that second appearing has certain peculiar marks which glorify it exceedingly.
Our Lord will have ended the business of sin. He has so taken it away from His people and so effectually borne its penalty that He will have nothing to do with it at His second coming. He will present no sin offering, for He will have utterly put sin away.
Our Lord will then complete the salvation of His people. They will be finally and perfectly saved and will in every respect enjoy the fullness of that salvation. He comes not to bear the result of our transgressions but to bring the result of His obedience; not to remove our condemnation but to perfect our salvation.
Our Lord thus appears only to those who look for Him. He will not be seen in this character by men whose eyes are blinded with self and sin. To them He will be a terrible Judge and nothing more. We must first look to Him and then look for Him; and in both cases our look shall be life.
“The thief’s purpose is to steal, kill and destroy. My purpose is to give life in all its fullness” John 10:10
In the fly leaf of my “purse” Bible, I often jot down quotes and thought-provoking ideas I hear in church. This morning I noticed one I had written a few years ago: “Satan is not out to give you a bad day, he wants to destroy your life.”
The thief’s purpose is to steal, kill, and destroy. Death and darkness! Christ’s purpose is to give live in all its fullness. Life and light. Complete opposites.
Marvin and I were youth directors in our church for many years. One year we experienced a phenomenal revival and spiritual awakening — not only in our church youth group, but also in many others in our district. Three young adults, who were drug pushers, attended the youth meetings every Monday evening. One evening, all three of these young men gave the control of their lives to Christ. We were so happy and so were they.
That night we were in bed, almost asleep, when the phone rang. It was one of the three young men. The Holy Spirit had filled them with great boldness. “We were just at the pool hall and were witnessing to the guys in there,” he said. With the Bible on the pool table, they had pointed to the road and said, “See the road out there? Cars are going east or west. There is no middle road. You all have to decide whether you want to go to heaven or hell. There is no in between.”
Heaven or hell. Darkness or Light. Death or Life. I encourage you to choose Christ and life, eternal life in heaven — light. Today!
If you have not yet consciously made the commitment to follow Christ, do it today. Don’t put it off.
Lord, You are the Father of Life and Light. The enemy is the father of lies and darkness. Father, we choose You and Life. We reject Satan and his lies and darkness. Amen.
Take a look at your life. How would you describe it? Contented? Rushed? Exciting? Stressful? Moving forward? Holding back? For many of us it’s all of the above at different times. We experience a mix of dreams and regrets.
In the Bible, it says that Jesus came to make all things new. What would your life look like if you could start over? Your past doesn’t have to control your future. God has a wonderful plan for your life. No one can be perfect, or have a perfect life. But every one of us has the opportunity to experience complete forgiveness through a personal relationship with God made possible through Jesus Christ. And when God comes into your life, he starts to transform you from the inside out.
You can receive Christ right now by faith through prayer. Praying is simply talking to God. God knows your heart and is not so concerned with your words as He is with the attitude of your heart. Here’s a suggested prayer:
Lord Jesus, I want to know you personally. Thank you for dying on the cross for my sins. I open the door of my life to you and ask you to come in as my Savior and Lord. Take control of my life. Thank you for forgiving my sins and giving me eternal life. Make me the kind of person you want me to be.
Does this prayer express the desire of your heart? You can pray it right now, and Jesus Christ will come into your life, just as He promised.
All of us make tracks through the valley of failure. The question is, How are you going to respond? Plenty of people give up and exchange a vibrant kingdom-serving life for a defeated existence. But failure need not be an end. It’s a chance for a new beginning living in Christ’s strength.
Peter had a life-altering failure. Jesus warned that Satan had asked permission to “sift” the disciple like wheat (Luke 22:31)–vigorous shaking is required to separate wheat kernels from debris. The Enemy wanted to shake Peter’s faith hard in hopes that he’d fall away from Jesus like chaff.
Peter fervently believed the promise he’d made to Jesus: “Even though all may fall away, yet I will not” (Mark 14:29). But Satan knows a few things about the power of fear. What’s more, he realized that the disciple would be wounded by his own disloyalty. A man with tattered pride can’t help but question his usefulness.
When Satan sifts believers, his goal is to damage our faith so much that we’re useless to God. He wants us shelved far from the action of the Lord’s kingdom. Therefore, he goes for our strengths–the areas where we believe ourselves to be invincible, or at least very well protected. And when the Devil succeeds, we are disappointed and demoralized. But we don’t have to stay that way.
If we are willing, God can use failure to do spiritual housecleaning. Peter laid down his pride and instead put on the Holy Spirit’s courage. Thereafter, he risked humiliation, persecution, and death to proclaim the gospel. Failure was the catalyst that brought forth greater faith and true servanthood
A.I. Chatbot Preaches at Church in Germany: ‘Looks Like the Unveiling of the Antichrist/Beast System’ A unique sermon was delivered via artificial intelligence Friday in a Lutheran church in Germany. A ChatGPT chatbot asked the people in the fully packed St. Paul’s Church in the town of Fuerth to rise from the pews and praise the Lord. The bot was personified by an avatar of a bearded black man on a huge screen above the altar. It preached to more than 300 people who showed up for the experimental Lutheran church service, generated almost entirely by artificial intelligence.

Preparing for war? IDF, healthcare facilities practice evacuation of special-needs patients The Israel Defense Forces Home Front Command and the country’s civilian medical system in recent days rehearsed the wartime evacuation of special-needs patients from northern Israel. The exercise, which took place in nine separate locations in the Shlomi Regional Council, around a kilometer from the Lebanese border, simulated an IDF directive to evacuate northern communities,
Hyrcania fortress site in Judean Desert excavated for the first time in Israel For the first time, archaeologists are excavating a Hasmonean fortress from the second century B.C.E., known as “Hyrcania” after John Hyrcanus, who was a Maccabean leader and a Jewish high priest during that time. Hyrcania was one of the three fortresses that the wife of Alexander Janneaus, Salome Alexandra, refused to give up to the Pharisees. King Janneaus was the second Hasmonean king who ruled during the first century B.C.E.
Office of Special Counsel Determines Biden Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre Violated Federal Law “Although Ms. Jean‐Pierre never expressly instructed viewers to vote for or against Republican candidates for elected office, OSC concluded that the timing, frequency, and content of Ms. Jean‐Pierre’s references to ‘MAGA Republicans’ established that she made those references to generate opposition to Republican candidates. Accordingly, making the references constituted political activity,” it said.
Major League Baseball panics, tells teams to kill Pride logos One analyst called the losses, triggered by pushback from American consumers against the “woke” ideology, “staggering.” Now, it appears, Major League Baseball is trying to avoid any such collapse. A report in the Washington Stand explained the league has been “quietly ordering teams to ditch their Pride uniforms entirely.” Which, the report said, “signals that the tables have, in fact, turned.”
Gallup poll: Over two-thirds of Americans oppose trans participation in sports The latest poll from Gallup suggests that an overwhelming majority of Americans remain opposed to so-called “transgender” people participating in sports for the wrong gender, despite ongoing social and political efforts to normalize such practices.
Napoleon was right about the Jews It is not well known that Napoleon Bonaparte was one of these leaders. In 1799, he tried to conquer the Land of Israel from the Ottoman governor Ahmad Pasha al-Jazzar, also known as “The Butcher.” On April 16, 1799, Napoleon defeated the Butcher’s cavalry at the Battle of Tabor Mountain. When he reached Ramla, 25 miles from Jerusalem, he made a “Proclamation to the Jews.” “Israelites, unique nation, whom, in thousands of years, lust of conquest and tyranny have been able to be deprived of their ancestral lands, but not of name and national existence! Arise then, with gladness, ye exiled!”

“[A] good moral character is the first essential in a man, and that the habits contracted at your age are generally indelible, and your conduct here may stamp your character through life. It is therefore highly important that you should endeavor not only to be learned but virtuous.” —George Washington (1790)
Companies nationwide pay homage to the Rainbow Mafia, and when anyone objects, suddenly they’re a “bigot” and an oppressor.
Nate Jackson
Leftists are always the victims in their fairytale about oppression. The latest kerfuffle over “pride” merchandise and marketing is no exception.
Just take a look at the media headlines:
“Target stores in at least five states receive bomb threats over Pride items” —The Hill
“Target stores see more bomb threats over Pride merchandise” —The Washington Post
“Experts warn against canceling Pride campaigns after extremists threaten Target” —ABC News
“How major brands were forced into the conservative plan to target LGBTQ people” —NBC News
To be clear, after some Target stores moved or removed some pride merchandise (some of which was designed by a Satanist and some of which was targeted at small children), prominent Democrats accused the retail giant of “selling out” and the Rainbow Mafia issued bomb threats, causing some stores to temporarily close. This, the Leftmedia propagandists want you to know, is the fault of conservatives.
In The Hill and The Washington Post, you have to read several paragraphs into their respective stories to learn that it was leftists who issued the bomb threats after their headlines implied the opposite. The same goes for ABC:
“Target reported that its employees faced threats over its new Pride collections celebrating the LGBTQ+ community and responded by pulling some of the merchandise that had caused the most ‘significant confrontational behavior’ to protect the safety and wellbeing of its employees.”
What were these threats? Saying mean things like “I won’t buy your products” on Twitter? ABC doesn’t say.
It did, however, report: “Several Targets also received bomb threats over Memorial Day weekend related to the controversy. … The threats reportedly called for the return of LGBTQ+ items to the shelves [emphasis added].”
None of the aforementioned media outlets even hint at the idea that maybe issuing bomb threats is a bad idea, even when their allies do it. In fact, all of them fret over and lecture conservatives for provoking anger.
ABC’s story then immediately quoted an academic “who researches the white nationalist movement.” She thinks “this will embolden alt-right actors.” After that, ABC appealed to an “expert” at the disgraced hate-baiting grift organization known as the Southern Poverty Law Center. He clicks his tongue over the “bigots” who will “feel emboldened” by any company that slightly backs off on pounding pride propaganda.
Again, to be clear, the bigots in his mind aren’t the Rainbow Mafia clowns issuing bomb threats and demanding “inclusive” compliance. The bigots aren’t the social media censors silencing anyone who still believes in basic biology or traditional American values — you know, like Joe Biden did until five minutes ago. No, according to The Narrative, the only villains are conservatives who object to having rainbow garbage shoved in our faces by every corporation and media outlet in the country.
NBC tells us how this game works. “Bud Light and Target were not always political punching bags,” its story begins. “But both companies have been drawn into the center of a long-brewing conservative battle after the brands released campaigns supporting or featuring LGBTQ people.”
Starbucks, says The New Republic, “has banned Pride decorations in stores,” which is “a stunning cave to far-right anti-LGBTQ fury.”
See, here these innocent companies were just minding their own business and trying to “be more inclusive” when suddenly mean conservatives decided to hate them.
Fact-check: It wasn’t conservatives who drew anyone into this battle. It was the Alphabet People compulsively demanding to be celebrated and affirmed every moment of every day all year long. It was companies deciding they’d rather send loud and flamboyant political messages on behalf of 5% of the population than simply sell beer or clothing to every American.
Leftists are virtually always the aggressors in the culture war. Conservatives are merely trying to conserve what nearly everyone agreed was desirable just a few short years ago. For that, we’re labeled “extremists,” bigots,“ and “haters,” even when the Rainbow Mafia is literally issuing bomb threats.
Historically, leftists have been the ones using boycotts to great effect, forcing conformity with their views or destroying businesses that don’t go along. Conservatives are beginning to learn to fight back in the same manner.
That’s why Bud Light sales continue to plummet since partnering with a “transgender” influencer. Sales are down more than a quarter and the brand is no longer the top-selling beer in America.
Millions of Americans don’t hate anyone. We just don’t want our beer, baseball, and bathing suits to have to reflect the sexual decisions of a tiny minority. We hate to be crass, but we just can’t understand why literally everything has to be about affirming someone’s choice of genitals or what they do with those body parts. We don’t get why “inclusivity” means being forced by even conservative news outlets to see pictures of a man flaunting his feminine breasts on the White House lawn.
Forget pride, which is hardly a virtue in any case. Whatever happened to basic decency?
The former president made his appearance, denounced the charges, and quickly got back into campaign mode.
Douglas Andrews
It was the least surprising news of the week. Or the month. Or the year.
Yesterday, in a Miami courthouse, Donald Trump pleaded not guilty to Team Biden’s 37-count felony indictment on charges that he mishandled classified documents, refused to return them, and obstructed “justice” along the way. (Incidentally, those of you who object to our characterization of this as Team Biden’s indictment or our snarky scare quotes around the word “justice” might want to check out other conservative commentary, where the Trump hatred is rich and unfettered. Here in our humble shop, though, we’ll strive for a more balanced analysis.)
As the Adulterated Press reports, “The history-making court date, centered on charges that Trump mishandled government secrets that as commander-in-chief he was entrusted to protect, kickstarts a legal process that will unfold at the height of the 2024 presidential campaign and carry profound consequences not only for his political future but also for his own personal liberty.”
As our Nate Jackson noted earlier this week, Trump’s predicament is both politically motivated and perilous. Guilty verdicts on any of the worst of theses charges could put him behind bars for the rest of his life.
But while it’s true that Trump’s very freedom is at stake, and that his defense team can’t lose even one of the 37 counts, it’s also well worth noting that special prosecutor Jack Smith can’t lose even one juror. And what are the odds that a Florida jury sees things a bit differently than a DC jury? After all, the former went narrowly for Trump in 2020, while the latter went 92%-5% against him. What are the odds that a Cuban or Venezuelan expat slips through the prosecution’s peremptory challenges and engages in some good old-fashioned Simpsonesque jury nullification?
In short, DC is a rigged town, but Florida is a free state.
As for the former president, he was characteristically unbowed and unflinching during his court appearance. This never-quit, never-surrender, never-say-you’re-sorry approach is a character trait that his supporters find deeply endearing, but his enemies find anywhere from off-putting to white-hot infuriating. Too bad for them.
As the AP continues: “Trump approached his arraignment with characteristic bravado, posting social media broadsides against the prosecution from inside his motorcade en route to the courthouse and insisting — as he has through years of legal woes — that he has done nothing wrong and was being persecuted for political purposes. But inside the courtroom, he sat silently, scowling and arms crossed, as a lawyer entered a not guilty plea on his behalf in a brief arraignment that ended without him having to surrender his passport or otherwise restrict his travel.”
If Trump was scowling, then so was the mainstream media. CNN’s Jake Tapper, for one, was downright disconsolate. As Townhall’s Rebecca Downs observed: “After leaving the courthouse, Trump went to the famous Versailles Cuban bakery where people prayed over him and wished him a ‘Happy Birthday.’ Trump looked to be at home as he made time with his supporters. Yet CNN’s Jake Tapper just couldn’t deal with his network daring to show footage of the interactions in real time, as he very quickly told the people in the control room to cut the feed.”
Poor Jake. He’ll never understand Trump’s appeal. Nor will those on the Left who can’t get it through their heads that Trump’s supporters don’t care about indictments or material Trump claimed authority to posses or that shouldn’t have been classified to begin with. They care only about blood. Or, to use a more genteel term, they care only about retribution. More than anything else, they want to see Trump rightfully restored to power, and then they want to see him take revenge on those who’ve persecuted him ever since he and Melania came down the escalator.
If there’s one thing we’ve learned this week, it’s that the Leftmedia cares deeply about Trump’s indictment but not a lick about Biden’s corruption. As Newsbusters reports: “Over four days (June 8-June 12) the Big Three (ABC, CBS, NBC) broadcast networks predictably crammed their evening, morning and Sunday roundtable shows with a total of 291 minutes of coverage dedicated to the Trump indictment. But how much did the Biden/Burisma alleged bribery scheme receive? Zero seconds.”
During a primetime address last night from his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, Trump denounced the charges against him as “the most evil and heinous abuse of power in the history of our country.” He also called it a “sham indictment put forward by the Biden administration,” and he attacked special counsel Smith with gusto.
As for the agony of the Angry Left, columnist Stephen Kruiser writes: “This was, of course, supposed to be a huge day of celebration for the Trump-hating Left, including the Never Trump loons, who have at last abandoned any pretense of being right-of-center. While perusing the social media frenzy all day, however, one got the sense that even the most frothing-at-the-mouth Trump-haters are growing a bit weary of the whole ‘walls are closing in’ shtick. It’s understandable. By now, they’ve essentially become Wile E. Coyote to Trump’s Roadrunner.”
Trump has repeatedly vowed that he and he alone can destroy the deep state, and while that prospect might be — or rather is — deeply appealing to his supporters, our constitutional system doesn’t provide a means for him fully accomplishing that feat. If he has a plan for overcoming the bureaucratic entrenchment that plagues us, he should spell it out.
Likewise, if Trump has a plan for beating the Democrats at their own ballot-harvesting electoral game — and it appears he does — he should promote it vigorously during his campaign stops, and he should enlist the support of the entire Republican Party to this end.
Because if Republicans don’t take back the presidency in 2024, none of this matters.
As your Patriot Post team stands against the current cancel culture that seeks the suppression of conservative speech, I ask that you please support our efforts to keep the message of Liberty loud and clear. We are in this fight for the long haul, and it’s the investment of Patriots like you that makes it possible. Please make your gift to the 2023 Independence Day Campaign today to help ensure that our defense of Liberty is funded into November. Thank you for your support. —Mark Alexander, Publisher
State Department wants $76 million to fund its DEI division, Johns Hopkins University erases women, and more.
Thomas Gallatin & Jordan Candler
Cross-Examination
Inflation skyrocketed, Biden boasts: The price of eggs has precipitously dropped from record highs in January and is down 13.8% from April. Of course, falling egg prices coincide with the slowing rate of inflation, now at roughly 4% over last year. The White House posted a graph depicting the inflation rate with the message, “Great news: Today’s inflation report shows annual inflation is now at the lowest level since March 2021, and less than half of what it was last June.” The White House added, “This is giving families real breathing room.” The post was laughable, as it demonstrated that all this inflation that Americans have endured began after Joe Biden took office, and it has yet to drop back down to the level the U.S. economy enjoyed during Donald Trump’s presidency. As Governor Ron DeSantis’s press secretary, Jeremy Redfern, observed, “You’re bragging about prices continuing to increase?” Conservative commentator Justin Haskins also weighed in: “This is so dishonest! [The White House] knows most don’t understand inflation. Inflation going down does not mean there is more ‘breathing room.’ It means the rate of price increases is slowing, but still going up. We are paying more than ever! We need DEFLATION for prices to go down.”
Are border encounters really down? In their ongoing effort to dismiss the crisis at the U.S. southern border, Biden administration players have been claiming that the number of encounters with illegal aliens at the border has dropped by a whopping 70%. Just like with the inflation boast, this claim is dubious on its face given the fact that hundreds of thousands of migrants have been illegally crossing into the U.S. every month. So, how can the Department of Homeland Security get away with such a blatantly false claim? Put simply, by engaging in a redefinition game. Any migrant who attempts to enter at a port of entry without the proper paperwork will not be classified as illegal but “inadmissible,” technically dropping the number of encounters with “illegal aliens” significantly. Furthermore, the Biden administration has expanded its definition of “lawful pathways” to claim asylum, which effectively eliminates the illegal alien categorization for those migrants who claim asylum irrespective of whether they entered the country legally. In short, the Biden administration is cooking the books to make it appear that the border is under control.
Biden’s State Department wants $76 million to fund its DEI division: On Tuesday, Gina Abercrombie-Winstanley, Joe Biden’s diversity and inclusion officer at the State Department — a first-of-its-kind position created by his administration — testified before Congress. Abercrombie-Winstanley contended that $76 million in funding was needed to help ensure that the department has “an inclusive workforce with equitable opportunities to ensure our foreign policy is as strong, smart, and creative as it can be.” House Republicans were quick to object. Subcommittee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman Brian Mast bluntly stated, “Ma’am, I believe that your office is mandating division within the State Department.” He added: “This office has a clever name that uses strong emotional words — diversity, equity, inclusion — but functionally does the opposite of what America has always stood for, which is very simply the best man, the best woman for the job. This office is giving people the impression or given many people outside of the State Department the sense that it is looking for a preferred race or at minimum not white, that it is looking for a preferred religion or at minimum not Christian, or that it is looking for a preferred sexual orientation or identity or at minimum not straight male.”
Johns Hopkins University erases women: The latest incident of leftist newspeak comes courtesy of Johns Hopkins University, which recently provided students with an “LGBTQ Glossary” of “inclusive” gender identity terminology. One of the terms of interest was “lesbian,” which was defined as “a non-man attracted to non-men.” The glossary redefinition went on to explain, “While past definitions refer to ‘lesbian’ as a woman who is emotionally, romantically, and/or sexually attracted to other women, this updated definition includes non-binary people who may also identify with the label.” In other words, there is no such thing as a “woman.” Making matters worse, the glossary did include a definition for “Gay Man” in which the term “man” was not avoided. J.K. Rowling wryly observed: “Man: no definition needed. Non-man (formerly known as woman): a being definable only by reference to the male. An absence, a vacuum where there’s no man-ness.” After blowback like that, Johns Hopkins removed the glossary.
Christie, the formidable attack dog against Trump: Like CNN did with Donald Trump, the network on Monday hosted Republican presidential primary candidate Chris Christie in a town hall, with Anderson Cooper serving as the moderator. What became clear throughout the event is that Christie has his guns aimed squarely at Trump. He handled himself well throughout, ably answering a variety of questions while attacking Trump calmly and pointedly. He avoided engaging in any sophomoric slander, and his most notable attack on Trump was his observation that Trump is focused on settling personal scores. “If [Trump] goes back to the White House, the next four years will be all about himself,” Christie argued. “We need a president who will wake up every day and think about what’s best for the American people.” If Christie is able to generate enough popularity in the polls to be on the debate stage with Trump, it will be interesting to see the two square off.

A new study suggests people who may initially identify as LGBTQ+ will change to straight after a few years.
Emmy Griffin
There was a Gallup poll not too long ago that declared 20% of Gen Z now identify as LGBTQ+. Furthermore, according to the CDC, an alarming 25% of high school students (Gen Alpha) now identify as LGBTQ+. This dramatic increase from previous generations underscores that perhaps more people are identifying as LGBTQ+ because it is trendy, rebellious, and perhaps the next frontier in the fight for “civil rights.”
Gender cultists are so convinced that this exponential growth in LGBTQ+ identifications is because of “acceptance” that they are actively suppressing the social contagion theory put forth by Dr. Lisa Littman in 2018. This theory posits that people are identifying as LGBTQ+ either because their friends are doing it or because they were successfully groomed by their woke teachers or because it is an easy way to garner social credit in the victim hierarchy the Left has created in our culture. Other studies since then across various countries also show empirically that these LGBTQ+ identifications are most likely the result of social contagion.
Interestingly enough, Duke University recently published a study that also points to this social contagion theory being accurate. It found that many in the LGBTQ+ community changed their sexual orientation back to heterosexual after six years. The study writers call this “sexual identity fluidity,” but, more likely, it is the wearing off of the gender ideology social contagion.
According to the study, the majority of people who switched back to heterosexual first identified as “Other” (69.6%). Presumably, this category includes everyone who is not straight, homosexual, or bisexual. Bisexual-identifying individuals “switched back” at a rate of 49%. Those identifying as gay or lesbian switched back to straight at a much lower rate (8.6%) by comparison.
What the researchers in the Duke study described as “sexual identity mobility” is another clue that perhaps the pushing of the rainbow agenda is giving a false positive in the younger generation’s LGBTQ+ identification. In other words, they were probably influenced by social pressure and not because they were actually LGBTQ+.
If you apply the logical findings of this study to what kids and young adults are facing here in the U.S. — that almost 70% of the TQ+ tend to change their identity back to straight — there is not a good justification for the U.S. pushing gender ideology on kids, particularly when that ideology leads to gender mutilation and death.
Transgenderism is the perfect example of progressivism at its worst. First, kids identify as the opposite gender, and schools transition them and call them their new name. That’s not transgressive enough, so next, kids get on puberty blockers and hormones, whose long-term side effects are devastating. That is still ultimately not enough for some who go on to mutilate their body surgically. This last desperate bid to maintain their delusion is the saddest of all because, in essence, they have signed themselves over to be lifelong medical patients. One study in the UK and Holland found that 20% of people who undergo gender mutilation surgery regret it.
That study is missing a key element, though. Just how many of these depressed, delusional, and gender-confused people are happy long term with their choice to be transgender? The Heritage Foundation has an extremely sad answer.
According to a study that tracked transgender youth over the course of 21 years, there has been a startling increase in suicidality. The study states: “By 2020, there are about 1.6 more suicides per 100,000 people ages 12 to 23 in states that have a policy allowing minors to access health care without parental consent than in states without such a policy. The average state suicide rate in this age group between 1999 and 2020 was 11.1, making an additional 1.6 suicides per 100,000 an increase of 14 percent in the suicide rate.”
Overall, the Duke study is heartening on so many fronts. First, it provides evidence for the social contagion theory. Second, it demonstrates that the CDC and Gallup polls are probably grossly exaggerated.
The American president’s home long stood as a place of honor. Joe Biden has made it a political cesspool.

The construction of the White House began in 1792, and prominent architects of the day drew inspiration from Italian-, British-, and French-style structures for its blueprint.
After its completion in 1800, John Adams, as the second president of the United States, was the first to take up residence in the White House. The day after moving in, Adams wrote to his wife Abigail: “I pray Heaven to bestow the best of blessings on this House, and all that shall hereafter inhabit it. May none but honest and wise men ever rule under this roof.” Franklin D. Roosevelt later had this blessing carved into the mantel in the State Dining Room.
This historical building has housed all of the subsequent U.S. presidents in the 230 years of its existence, and it has stood as a symbol of respect and strength for this country. Our Founders passed on the objective for this great nation to each national leader, decade after decade, to work for a region of the world in which the belief that “all men are created equal” could be achieved.
During the War of 1812, the White House was set ablaze during the burning of Washington. Though the exterior walls were all that remained, reconstruction began shortly after, and it was inhabitable again just two years later.
Some of the most notable men in history have walked its halls — individuals who understood the vision for the American Dream, who have provided words of inspiration and warning that have carried the following generations forward to further the work of liberty and justice for all.
Aligning with the core of our founding documents, John Adams said: “A Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty, once lost, is lost forever.”
As the president who held office over the United States through a civil war fought in part to end the practice of slavery on American soil, Abraham Lincoln voiced, “Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves.”
Several decades later, after worldwide turmoil, historic strides made in our civil rights laws, and overcoming significant foreign and domestic attacks against our nation’s moral and liberating framework unparalleled by any other population on earth, President Ronald Reagan uttered the famous quote: “If we lose freedom here, there is no place to escape to. This is the last stand on earth.”
Though political differences and conflicting philosophical beliefs on how best to lead the American people have been carried by all presidents, respect of the White House has appeared to be a unifying agreement as we’ve shifted from one administration to the next.
However, in recent years, so many of our monuments that used to stand and serve as reminders of both the sins of our past and the battles we’ve fought to right our wrongs have been vandalized and destroyed. Now it’s the same with the White House. This last symbol of unity has been defaced by way of obscene performances and insults from the mouth of the sitting president, whose words directly disrespect the thousands of military men and women who have paid the ultimate sacrifice for this structure to stand.
In “celebration” of Pride Month, the Biden White House hosted an event to which numerous transgender influencers were invited, and he delivered a gushing speech to their “community.” They are “some of the bravest and most inspiring people I’ve ever known,” Biden opined. “You set an example for the nation — and quite frankly, the world.”
Never mind the men and women who fought in the Revolutionary War to achieve our independence from Britain, or died alongside their fellow citizens to abolish the despicable act of enslaving other human beings to serve and die under the ownership of another, or the men and women who have traveled overseas over the last several decades defending our land from those would seek to harm and destroy the United States.
The people Joe Biden was referencing as “the strongest and most inspiring people” who “set an example for … the world” are those who demonstrate their disdain for Christianity, traditional values, and science itself. Those who are normalizing public displays of sexual deviancy. Those who are actively working to pull innocent children into a life of moral absence.
The guests who attended this presidential rainbow-colored porn party are representatives of a movement of people who host play groups for babies, where the entertainers are dressed in bondage gear as they simulate sex acts on each other, while the adults in the room cheer on the performance.
This is a group of people who openly and proudly state their belief that a child can consent to surgeries and drugs that will sterilize their bodies, rendering them incapable of bearing or creating their own children, and forcing them into a life of never-ending medical complications.
The political advocates for this belief system have put laws in place that remove the need for parental involvement for mental and physical procedures, and they label loving parents as “abusive” if they do not comply with their confused child’s declaration of their made-up identity.
During this celebration, a transgender influencer, who goes by the name Rosa Montoya, recorded himself standing in front of the White House with the top half of his body exposed, as he shook his fake breasts with his hands and laughed. The person recording the video can be heard asking, “Are we topless at the White House?”
If we were to look back at the words uttered by John Adams — his blessing that was carved into the mantle to commemorate that fundamental expectation for reverence and respect for what could and would be accomplished through the establishment of the freest society to exist on earth — we might wonder what words the current administration might etch into the woodwork to leave behind as inspiration for the next generation.
Based on their actions, the beliefs of America’s leaders today are so far removed from where we started as a nation that it’s incomprehensible.
The demonstration carried out on the lawn of the once-revered White House this week was not to show support for the rights of a “marginalized” group of people, who are allegedly suffering under the imaginary restraints of American principles.
The point of this demonstration was to make the position of the current White House residents known: That they vehemently stand against the Judeo-Christian values that America was founded upon.
They intentionally sent this message in this way, gathering a group of the most depraved, morally bankrupt individuals onto the grounds of the most respected building in the world, for that reason alone.
There is one argument made by opponents of American aid to Ukraine that holds no water.
Dennis Prager
I have supported aiding Ukraine in its fight against Russian aggression. I don’t understand conservatives who want America to watch Russia crush an independent country. That is not the America I thought conservatism embraced. At the same time, the opponents of aid to Ukraine do make valid points. For example, America should not seek regime change in Russia; peace should be pursued as vigorously as war; and compromises — such as an agreement that Ukraine does not apply for NATO membership, at least for a specified amount of time — will be necessary.
But there is one argument made by opponents of American aid to Ukraine that holds no water — the argument that Ukraine is corrupt.
One reason this argument doesn’t hold water is that had it been applied in the past, America, to cite one example, would never have aided Korea in its fight for survival against North Korean/Chinese/Soviet aggression. It took many years for (South) Korea to become a fully functioning democracy. Yet, thank God and thank America, which lost 37,000 men, that America did aid Korea, or the entire Korean peninsula would have become what North Korea is — the world’s largest concentration camp.
And to cite the most extreme example, if corruption were a reason not to aid a country, America certainly should not have aided Stalin’s Soviet Union in its war with Nazi Germany. Stalin’s regime murdered about 30 million Soviet citizens, including the deliberate starvation of about 5 million Ukrainians. But we did aid Stalin because, at the time, Hitler was the evil that most needed to be destroyed.
There is a second reason the argument that we shouldn’t aid Ukraine because it is corrupt holds no water. It is hard to imagine that at this time Ukraine is more corrupt than America. I never imagined I would ever write such a thing. But it is, sadly, the case.
Under the influence of the left, both the government and virtually every governing body in America has been corrupted.
To begin with, with the possible exception of Lyndon B. Johnson, Joe Biden is the most corrupt president in American history. While in government service, he has enriched himself and his family to an unprecedented extent. Have Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his extended family become as wealthy as Joe Biden and his extended family? Even if they have, would it make a difference? If it were proven that Zelenskyy was the most honest head of state in the world, would any conservative opponent of aid to Ukraine become a proponent of aid to Ukraine?
And while on the subject of relative corruption, are Ukraine’s intelligence agencies more corrupt than — or even just as corrupt as — America’s? America’s intelligence heads serve the interests of the ruling Democratic Party, not of America. To cite just one example, 51 heads and former heads of intelligence agencies signed a lie — that the Hunter Biden laptop was likely Russian disinformation — in order to help Joe Biden get elected president in 2020.
Has the Zelenskyy government sought to imprison a previous president or the leading opposition candidate as the American left is now doing?
Does the Ukraine government have as many political prisoners as the Biden government has?
Has the Ukrainian Medical Association announced that the sex of all Ukrainian newborns not be listed in the child’s birth certificate — because we do not know for certain the sex of a child and because the child should be able to choose his/her/their sex later in life? I doubt it. Yet, that is precisely what the American Medical Association has announced vis-a-vis American newborns.
Do Ukrainian children’s hospitals encourage pre-adolescents to take hormone blockers if they say they think they are a person of the opposite sex? Do Ukrainian medical schools tell their medical students never to say “pregnant woman” but “birthing person”?
The list of corrupted major American institutions — inside and outside the government — is almost as long as the list of major American institutions.
To repeat, I agree with opponents of aid to Ukraine that America should be pursuing peace as vigorously as it is pursuing war. Comments such as Joe Biden’s calling for regime change in Russia, his declaring Putin a “war criminal,” and Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin III’s statement that a key U.S. goal in supporting Ukraine is “to see Russia weakened” are likely prolonging a very dangerous war.
Nevertheless, we should all agree that one does not refuse to aid an attacked nation based on the amount of corruption in that nation. Especially when that nation is no more corrupt than one’s own — and considerably freer than the attacking nation.

Re: The Left
“Looking out at his LGBTQ+ audience Saturday, Biden said, ‘You’re some of the bravest and most inspiring people I’ve ever known.’ … As a senator, as vice president and as president, I know Joe Biden has met plenty of active-duty service members and veterans who lost limbs in Afghanistan. I know he’s met scores of soldiers who have undergone dozens of surgeries from wounds suffered in Iraq. He met the families of the 13 military personnel who died at the Kabul airport because of his incompetence. But the courage of those patriots evidently can’t match that of LGBTQ radicals trying to indoctrinate America’s children into their movement.” —Gary Bauer
“On Thursday, Joe Biden will host a pride month event for families with LGBT kids on the White House South Lawn. It’s during this event that he’ll appoint a ‘banned-book’ czar, whose job it will be to try to compel local communities to stock their libraries with race-obsessed pseudohistories and books depicting oral sex, rape, violence, and gender dysphoria. Now, if that sounds like an unfair description, there’s an easy way for the president to debunk his critics: He can read selected outtakes from some of these innocuous books to the prepubescent kids who show up to the event. Even better, he can do it on TV.” —David Harsanyi

People can lie to themselves because they mistakenly believe that is a form of tolerance, or they can lie to themselves because they know the science and it doesn’t agree with their preconceived notions of right and wrong, real and fictitious. We can call a man a woman to be polite, and we can call a baby a fetus in order to strip it of its humanity. But in the end, the words have their own life, their own value and existence separate and apart from any dishonest purpose, and I refuse to play that game.” —Christine Flowers

China’s foreign minister Qin Gang urged the United States to stop meddling in its affairs and harming its security in a phone call with his U.S. counterpart on Wednesday, a tense preview to Antony Blinken’s visit to Beijing expected in coming days.
The Chinese scientists conducting dangerous gain-of-function experiments on coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology were the first humans infected by COVID-19, according to a new report published on the Substack Public.
This revelation — coupled with the Sunday Times’ explosive report suggesting researchers at the WIV were involved in military bioweapons research at the time of the leak — serves to further quash the zoonotic origin theory peddled by Anthony Fauci, Francis Collins, Peter Daszak, and others with links to the lab, as well as by so-called Western scientists eager to adopt Beijing’s wet-market origins narrative.
Investigative journalists Michael Shellenberg, Matt Taibbi, and Alex Gutentag learned from multiple U.S. government officials, with one admitting “100%” certainty, that the “patients zero” who got infected in November 2019 included Ben Hu, Yu Ping, and Yan Zhu.
While all three “patients zero” were WIV researchers, Ben Hu’s primary infection is all the more damning given that he ran lead on the institute’s gain-of-function research on SARS-like coronaviruses — research intended to make viruses more infectious.
According to Alina Chan, molecular biologist at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, “Ben Hu is essentially the next Shi Zhengli. … He was her star pupil. He had been making chimeric SARS-like viruses and testing these in humanized mice. If I had to guess who would be doing this risky virus research and most at risk of getting accidentally infected, it would be him.”
Zhengli, the so-called “Bat Woman” referenced by Chan, was the top coronavirus researcher at the lab, who years prior to the outbreak of COVID-19 worked with University of North Carolina epidemiologist Ralph Baric to create a novel infectious pathogen by way of gain-of-function research that could infect human cells.
Zhengli and Baric manufactured a “chimeric virus” by placing the “spike of bat coronavirus SHC014” into the molecular structure of the SARS virus, which could replicate in human airway cells and possibly be transmitted to humans.
Hu similarly meddled with COVID-19’s apparent forerunners, co-authoring a 2017 paper on chimeric bat coronaviruses with the head of EcoHealth Alliance, Peter Daszak, who had used American grant money for such dangerous research at the WIV. After his investment went south in a big way, Daszak would go on to champion Fauci’s efforts to downplay the lab-leak theory.
Hu and fellow patient zero Yu Ping co-authored a paper with Zhengli in 2019 detailing the SARS-like lineages they studied over the years along with “insights on the bat origin of human SARS.”
Here is a video showing Hu alongside a lab worker handling specimens where neither are wearing protective gear:
Jamie Metzl, a former member of the World Health Organization expert advisory committee on human genome editing, told Public, “It’s a game changer if it can be proven that Hu got sick with COVID-19 before anyone else. That would be the ‘smoking gun.’ Hu was the lead hands-on researcher in Shi’s lab.”
Public noted it is presently unclear how long the U.S. government has known about the WIV workers who first got sick wth COVID-19 or why it neglected to let the American people know that the virus that upended their lives was likely not the result of a zoonotic infection, but almost certainly an error made by an adversary bent on developing a weapon of mass destruction.
Chan told Public, “You would expect the country of origin to be defensive … but you wouldn’t expect a country receiving the virus to be withholding key evidence.”
TheBlaze recently reported on newly reiterated claims that China was engineering mutant coronaviruses for malicious purposes at the WIV, including using the new virus as a bioweapon while developing a vaccine to protect its citizens, prior to the onset of the pandemic.
American investigators with the U.S. State Department told the Sunday Times that the lab wherein Hu, Ping, and Zhu took ill was where a People’s Liberation Army-backed bioweapons program was under way, making mineshaft viruses more infectious to humans.
“It has become increasingly clear that the Wuhan Institute of Virology was involved in the creation, promulgation, and cover-up of the COVID-19 pandemic,” said one investigator.
Dr. Steven Quay, a scientist who advised the State Department on its investigation, suggested that COVID-19, which killed over 1.1 million Americans, was created by inserting a furin cleavage site into one of the mine viruses and then serial passaging it through humanized mice, reported the Times.
Shellenberg noted on Twitter Tuesday that when the WIV “put out their first paper about the pandemic virus, they failed to point out the novel furin cleavage site despite having had plans to and allegedly putting such gain-of-function features into SARS-like viruses in their lab.”
Chan said, “It’s as if these scientists proposed putting horns on horses, but when a unicorn shows up in their city a year later they write a paper describing every part of it except its horn.”
The mounting evidence of a lab leak and malicious intent paints China’s resultant cover-up in a new light.
Chinese authorities delayed warning the world about the emergence of the deadly disease, going to great lengths to silence doctors like the late Lie Wenliang, who had tried to raise the alarm.
While Ben Hu, Yu Ping, and Yan Zhu reportedly got sick with COVID-19 in November 2019, communist officials waited until Dec. 31 to alert the World Health Organization, then claimed, “The disease is preventable and controllable.”
A Five Eyes intelligence dossier accused the CCP in May 2020 of engaging in an “assault on international transparency” to the “endangerment of other countries,” reported the New York Post.
The intelligence dossier indicated that the genocidal Chinese regime had scrambled to bury evidence of the virus and its origins, “destroying” lab samples, censoring evidence of spread, and denying sample requests from other countries.
British conservative politician Bob Seely said in response, “At the end of this when the dust settles, it is also clear that there has to be a re-evaluation by the West of its relationship with China.”
The Department of Homeland Security intelligence service indicated in early 2020 that the CCP simultaneously covered up the outbreak while hoarding critical medical supplies and cutting other countries off from items believed necessary to tackle the virus, TheBlaze previously reported.
“We assess the Chinese Government intentionally concealed the severity of COVID-19 from the International community in early January while it stockpiled medical supplies by both increasing imports and decreasing exports,” said the May 1 DHS report.
The CCP also locked down domestic travel internally while knowingly allowing infected Chinese citizens to travel internationally.
The New York Times revealed that while Chinese officials began locking down Hubei province, home to the Wuhan Institute of Virology and the alleged patients zero, they nevertheless continued to permit international travel ahead of the Lunar New Year, when hundreds of millions of people were expected to travel back to their hometowns.
About 175,000 people left Wuhan on Jan. 1 alone.
Seven million people left Wuhan in January before travel was restricted, thousands of whom, the Times indicated, were infected. Thousands successfully made it to cities around the world; 900 reportedly made it to New York; 2,200 to Sydney, Australia; and tens of thousands more to various other cities.
Over 10,000 categories of nearly 1.6 million adverse events – many of them serious and debilitating – brought to you by Pfizer!
You might not have heard it in the news, but in recent months, Pfizer’s pharmacovigilance documents requested by the European Union’s drug regulator, the European Medicines Agency, have been released. They show that Pfizer knew about a sickening level of injury early on. An August 2022 document shows that the company already had observed the following scope of vaccine injury:
508,351 individual case reports of adverse events containing 1,597,673 events;
One-third of the AEs were classified as serious, well above the standard for safety signals usually pegged at 15%;
Women reported AEs at three times the rate of men;
60% of cases were reported with either “outcome unknown” or “not recovered,” so many of the injuries were not transient;
Highest number of cases occurred in the 31-50 year age group, and 92% did not have any comorbidities, which makes it very likely it was the vaccine causing such widespread, sudden injury.
These numbers alone suggest that all COVID shots should be defunded and Congress must immediately remove liability protections from the manufacturers. But a more recent document released by the Europeans is even more devastating, because it breaks down the 1.6 million adverse events observed by Pfizer by category and subcategory of ailment and injury.
The 393-page confidential Pfizer document, dated Aug. 19, 2022, shows that Pfizer observed over 10,000 categories of diagnosis, many of them very severe and very rare. For example:
Pfizer was aware of 73,542 cases of 264 categories of vascular disorders from the shots. Many of them are rare conditions.
There were hundreds of categories of nervous system disorders, totaling 696,508 cases.
There were 61,518 AEs from well over 100 categories of eye disorders, which is unusual for a vaccine injury.
Likewise, there were over 47,000 ear disorders, including almost 16,000 cases of tinnitus, which even Mayo Clinic researchers observed as a common but often devastating side effect early on.
There were roughly 225,000 cases of skin and tissue disorders.
There were roughly 190,000 cases of respiratory disorders.
Disturbingly, there were over 178,000 cases of reproductive or breast disorders, including disorders you wouldn’t expect, such as 506 cases of erectile dysfunction in men.
Very disturbingly, there were over 77,000 psychiatric disorders observed following the shots, lending credence to Dr. Peter McCullough’s research observing case studies showing psychosis correlating with vaccination.
3,711 cases of tumors – benign and malignant
Of course, there were almost 127,000 cardiac disorders, running the gamut of about 270 categories of heart damage, including many rare disorders, in addition to myocarditis.
There were over 100,000 blood and lymphatic disorders, for both of which there’s a wealth of literature linking them to the spike protein.
When reading what Pfizer knew early on juxtaposed to independent studies, it’s clear that nobody could have mistaken most of these AEs for mere incidental ailments. Here is a list of 3,129 case studies chronicling vaccine injury in every organ system observed in this Pfizer document.
What is so jarring is that there are hundreds of very rare neurological disorders that reflect something so systemically wrong with the shots, a reality that was clearly of no concern to the manufacturers and regulators alike. One of the infamous cases of vaccine injury was Maddie de Garay, an Ohio teen who became disabled for life immediately after participating in the Pfizer clinical trial. Her story is chronicled in chapter 16 of my book. I checked this confidential document and found that they knew of 68 cases of her rare diagnosis, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy.
The broad scope of injuries affecting every single organ system is simply extraordinary. Yet to this day, the FDA continues to criminally label the Pfizer shot as safe and effective. To this day, the label indicates the shot is a fully protective vaccine and also fails to mention all of these side effects, as required by law.
Recently, Peter Doshi, editor of the British Medical Journal, wrote a letter to the FDA requesting that the agency update its labeling to reflect the reality of what we’ve learned about the shots. Specifically, he asked that they include the following side effects on the label: multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children, pulmonary embolism, sudden cardiac death, neuropathic and autonomic disorders, decreased sperm concentration, heavy menstrual bleeding, and detection of vaccine mRNA in breast milk. The causal relationship of all these AEs to the vaccine is backed by substantial research, surveys, and adverse event reporting systems.
Unfortunately, the FDA denied the causal relationship between any of these side effects and the COVID shots. Even with regard to the request that officials clarify on the label that the shots don’t stop transmission, the FDA replied, “We are not convinced that there is any widespread misconception about this.”
“Product labeling should be informative and accurate, not promotional. The law requires it, and following the law shouldn’t be optional,” bemoaned Doshi and the other authors in a piece at TheHill.com.
The question is whether Republicans in the House will force the FDA to comply with the law by using the leverage of the appropriations bills for the FDA and HHS. So far, there has been no reckoning for their false marketing and the devastating human toll it has cost. Oh, and that is just the short-term human toll.
The bill seeks to ban “medical interventions aimed at changing the sex of a person” and “the state registration of a change of gender without an operation.”
Reality socked pollster Frank Luntz square in the teeth and forced him to admit “Everything that I would have…said to you was impossible is actually happening,” just as new data came out about former President Donald Trump’s position in the 2024 primary.
Tuesday, The Sydney Morning Herald published an interview conducted with Luntz who was in London speaking at the Centre for Policy Studies’ Margaret Thatcher conference. During the discussion, the pollster was left retracting comments he had made in Oct. 2021 regarding Trump’s chances of reclaiming the White House.
“I now have to acknowledge that it is a distinct possibility that Donald Trump could be elected — I did not believe that one year ago,” he told the Herald’s Latika Bourke.
The admission comes just days after Trump was charged with 37 felony counts in a federal indictment related to his possession of documents marked classified, a fact that a CBS News poll found left Republican voters wholly undeterred from supporting the president.
With data collected before and after the indictment was announced, CBS presented the largest lead Trump has held over his nearest competitor, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, at 38 points. The 61 to 23 percent spread saw all other candidates trailing in single digits.
CBS News Poll: Trump Posts Biggest Lead Yet Over DeSantis
“I did not believe that the search of Mar-a-Lago would be handled so badly, I did not believe that the indictment of him in New York would be handled so badly,” Luntz continued as though Russian collusion, a sham Jan. 6 committee and multiple impeachments hadn’t already happened. “I did not believe that his opponents would be so inept as to actually strengthen him and the combination of all of those makes him now viable, not just in the Republican primary but in the general election.”
According to the findings from CBS News, the ongoing political persecution of Trump has left many Republican voters more troubled by the motivations of the indictment “than his alleged conduct being a national security risk.”
“Most explicitly ruled out the charges announced in the indictment changing their views about Mr. Trump,” the outlet stated. “Rather than being disqualifying in their eyes, even if he’s ultimately convicted of a crime in the matter, they overwhelmingly feel he should still be able to serve as president again.”
Having distanced himself from impartiality long ago, Luntz let loose the hyperbole and asserted, “It’s now conceivable that in 2024 the country comes apart.”
“We have a 15 percent likelihood of that destroying American democracy depending on what happens,” he said of a second Trump administration, giving prioritization to NATO, Ukraine and the weaponized DOJ. “NATO is in jeopardy, clearly. Ukraine will no longer receive American support. Our legal system will be in jeopardy — I don’t want to contemplate it.”
In 2021, Luntz declared, “He will not win. If Trump runs again he will be nominated by the Republicans, but he will never be elected president because there are too many people who hate him,” and he retracted those comments to Bourke saying, “Everything that I would have [previously] said to you was impossible is actually happening.”
“The Roman Empire could never fall until it fell, the sun never set on the British Empire until it came apart, the Greeks created civilisation and now look where Greece is.”
Luntz went on to suggest, “Democracies can survive negativity and they can survive division. They cannot survive rejection of the truth because in the end, the foundation of democracy is knowing the truth, that’s how voters vote correctly.” (emphasis added.)

MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Ukrainian troops have lost about 7,500 military both killed and injured on the line of contact alone since June 4, the Russian Defense Ministry said on Wednesday.
Former President Donald Trump‘s poll numbers appear to be rocketing on the eve of his appearance in a Miami courtroom on criminal charges, scheduled for Tuesday.
Trump touched down in the Sunshine State on Monday to face federal criminal charges as his campaign team plans to use the indictment to crush Florida Governor Ron DeSantis‘ 2024 presidential campaign once and for all, as his poll numbers soar.
Indeed, Trump’s team are looking to harness the amount of attention being placed on the presidential candidate and are hoping to steer narrative of the legal drama in their favor, by any means possible.
