Alejandro Mayorkas' "Pyramid of Far-Right Radicalization" is scary

Thanks to the investigation of the Media Research Center, the Department of Homeland Security has been exposed as fully weaponized. DHS should expect a call from House Judiciary Commitee Chairman Jordan in the not-that-distant future.

This RedState article doesn't bury the lede, starting with the opening paragraph. That opening paragraph says "Documents obtained by conservative watchdog group The Media Research Center (MRC) reveal that the Biden administration weaponized taxpayer dollars against mainstream conservative groups and the GOP. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) awarded over $350,000 in grant funding in FY 2022 to a University of Dayton program, known as PREVENTS-OH, as part of the DHS’ Targeted Violence and Terrorism Prevention Grant Program (TVTP)."

It continues, saying "A seminar was held at the University of Dayton’s Human Rights Center, where researcher Michael Loadenthal from the University of Cincinnati linked organizations such as the Republican National Committee (RNC), The American Conservative Union Foundation (CPAC Foundation), the Heritage Foundation, the National Rifle Association (NRA), and Fox News to radicalized fringe neo-Nazi paramilitary groups like The Base and the white supremacist website The Daily Stormer." Based on this reporting, DHS is essentially part of the DNC. This is the 'Pyramid Tweet:

Brent Bozell lays things out perfectly in his interview with Maria Bartiromo:

That's the definition of the weaponization of government. This isn't surprising, though. Back on the first Tax Day TEA Party, a Homeland Security Department intelligence assessment unfairly characterizes military veterans as right-wing extremists. Military veterans who've risked their lives are potentially extremists? Since when? Based on the MRC reporting and this report, it's certainly a pattern for Democrats to weaponize the DHS. Check this out:
Threats from white supremacist and violent antigovernment groups during 2009 have been largely rhetorical and have not indicated plans to carry out violent acts. Nevertheless, the consequences of a prolonged economic downturn—including real estate foreclosures, unemployment, and an inability to obtain credit—could create a fertile recruiting environment for rightwing extremists and even result in confrontations between such groups and government authorities similar to those in the past.
That's doublespeak. How can this report highlight "violent anti-government groups", then mention that those groups "have not indicated plans to carry out violent acts?" They're either violent or they aren't. Veterans' organizations have every right to be upset with Janet Napolitano's report. It isn't surprising that Napolitano was Obama's first DHS Secretary. This is what Obama said on the campaign trail in 2008:

This isn't an aberration. This is who today's Democrats are. Paul Wellstone's Democrats might've been slightly like this, though not to this degree. This is frightening:
Rightwing extremists have capitalized on the election of the first African American president, and are focusing their efforts to recruit new members, mobilize existing supporters, and broaden their scope and appeal through propaganda, but they have not yet turned to attack planning.
The report states "They have not yet turned to attack planning." That means DHS had infiltrated these organizations. Otherwise, how would DHS know things like this? Again, this was part of a report from April, 2009. Why shouldn't I think that Alejandro Mayorkas, the least trustworthy secretary of DHS in its short history, is weaponizing his entire department? Finally, there's this:
The possible passage of new restrictions on firearms and the return of military veterans facing significant challenges reintegrating into their communities could lead to the potential emergence of terrorist groups or lone wolf extremists capable of carrying out violent attacks.
To the DHS, everything has the potential for conservatives planning violent attacks. Where's the proof of that type of thinking?

Is Joe Biden our Grifter-in-Chief?

Image
Apparently, Joe Biden doesn't care about the law or Supreme Court rulings. When asked about the ruling on his student loan bailout, Biden said that the Supreme Court misinterpreted the Constitution. He knows they didn't. That's just what he said to preserve the opportunity to introduce his next unconstitutional plan that will get rejected by the Supreme Court. This isn't about whether it's constitutional. It's about whether he can con enough young people into voting for him in 2024. Biden must've anticipated this ruling. Within an hour of the ruling, the Administration was out with this detailed fact sheet to replace the plan that he knew would fail. It opens with the same partisan attack as Democrats have mouthed. The fact sheet opens by saying "No President has fought harder for student debt relief than President Biden, and he’s not done yet. President Biden and Vice President Harris will not let Republican elected officials succeed in denying hard

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue

Maria Bartiromo's interrogation of Gov. Ron DeSantis

Image
Yesterday, Maria Bartiromo interrogated Gov. Ron DeSantis on Sunday Morning Futures. The first half of the interview, Bartiromo asked policy questions. Gov. DeSantis showed his understanding of the issues and presented his solutions on everything from China, inflation and growing the economy. The first reply he had was to cut spending. His next reply was to open energy production. Third, he talked about the importance of increasing productivity, which he correctly said is the best way to eliminate inflation. A little over half the way through the interview, though, it turned into an attack. Bartiromo asked "I'm wondering what's going on with your campaign. There was a lot of optimism about you running for president earlier in the year but here's this weekend's headline from the Politico Playbook: Failure to launch. Gov. Ron DeSantis's campaign to topple Donald Trump has stalled. We are way behind says a top DeSantis PAC official. What happened? Despite that bad
