Political Gang Assaults . . . With Biden On The Loose, Americans Have Every Reason To Fear For Their Nation

April 22, 2023 Frontpage No Comments

By DEXTER DUGGAN

To the extent that Joe Biden is able to comprehend situations, he should understand that many Americans want to rid themselves of his presidency and his extremist political party — because that’s the reverse of what the Biden gang itself is busy doing, trying to end the United States except as a landmass twisted into some far-left hellscape.
The categories of life under the Biden gang’s assault encompass every aspect, including life itself, medicine, finance, the family, the military, the law and judiciary, policing, transportation, sports, publishing, journalism, gender, schooling, borders, energy, firearms, religion, parental authority, youth, privacy, entertainment, debt.
Each one is given “woke” coloration, and the threat of violence, riots, censorship, and compulsion if Americans dare resist the Marxist march.
As Biden’s printing presses grind out endless dollars, the value of what Americans already hold continues to decline. Inflation digs in its heels. The distinction between actual currency and counterfeit paper is all but lost.
To the Biden administration, the enemies to be crushed are ordinary Americans, while the friends to smile on are totalitarian Communists with covert bags of cash for the Biden family.
Paradoxically, while the streets of a city like Beijing are kept under tight control by Communist police, U.S. streets under Biden’s Democrat political pals are rife with crime.
Conservative Republican political consultant Constantin Querard told The Wanderer on April 18: “Democrats have long been associated with a soft-on-crime position, but today’s Democratic Party takes yet another liberal idea as far left as it possibly can, so that they aren’t just soft on crime, but almost pro-criminal.
“They appear to be anti-arrest, anti-prosecution, and anti-jail time for most property and even low-level violent crimes,” Querard said. “That’s what is largely behind the crime waves in large Democrat-run cities, and why you see major retailers shutting down stores in cities where the shoplifting alone can keep even giants like Walmart from being able to stay open.”
National conservative commentator Quin Hillyer told The Wanderer on April 18: “For decades, leftists have entered and then taken over cultural institution after cultural institution and political sinecure after political sinecure. Usually, conservatives either fail to see the leftist advances as a power play or else just retreat to ever-more conservative bunkers, into their own echo chambers.
“Instead, uncomfortable and difficult as it may be,” Hillyer said, “conservatives need to work to take back the institutions, to outcompete leftists even where the leftists try to shut them out. We can’t take back our culture by ceding its institutions to the Left.”
With the ravenous federal government on the attack across the board, individuals may have to respond a bite at a time.
One example was the field hearing conducted in Manhattan on April 17 by the U.S. House Judiciary Committee, chaired by Cong. Jim Jordan (R., Ohio), the first of such hearings anticipated in different cities, to enable individuals to speak up against criminal oppression.
Democrat-run New York City has become notorious for violent assaults upon people going about their daily lives, from its sidewalks and skyscrapers to the subways below them.
Former Democrats say they left the party because of what it has become. They even may leave New York and other states like decaying California for more conservative locations.
Expectedly, Democrats said the reality of crime that people know is largely imaginary and there’s really not much to complain about.
However, The Hill political site said that Jordan quoted Paul DiGiacomo, the president of the New York City’s Detectives’ Endowment Association, as saying that left-wing Democrat Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg “gives criminals the roadmap to freedom from prosecution and control of our streets. In Bragg’s Manhattan you can resist arrest, deal drugs, obstruct arrest, and even carry a gun to get away with it.”
“And guess what happened under this new policy? More crime,” Jordan said, according to The Hill’s April 17 story, which said Jordan listed “statistics of felony assaults, robberies, burglaries and grand larcenies and more in the city.”
The story said that Jennifer Harrison, founder of “Victims Rights NY,” describes her group as being “literally on the battleground of good vs. evil fighting against George Soros and his puppet candidates who want a complete breakdown of society.”
Soros is the billionaire left-wing extremist who floods his money into various activities to damage society, including electing weak-on-crime prosecutors like Bragg.
And like Biden’s own radical administration, Soros meddles where a person might not even expect it, such as giving left-wingers control over the “fact-checking” industry, where they tell people what they should, and shouldn’t, believe.
A column by Matt Palumbo posted April 17 at the New York Post was headlined, “Media ‘fact checkers’ lie to defend Alvin Bragg.” Palumbo is author of the upcoming book Fact Checking the Fact Checkers: How the Left Infiltrated and Weaponized the Fact-Checking Industry. A promotion for the book at Amazon.com says, “The fact-checking industry is exposed as a covert arm of the political left.”
Because of their power, Palumbo wrote in the Post, “there’s no limit to the lengths fact checkers are willing to go to achieve the goal of censoring their political opposition.”
He wrote that when the House hearing put the spotlight on Bragg, “The media was quick to circle the wagons and ‘debunk’ actual truths” exposing Bragg.
A report posted April 17 by WABC, New York’s Channel 7, quoted Curtis Sliwa, founder of the Guardian Angels, “There is shoplifting, there’s boosting, there’s assaults, there’s rapes, there’s a nonstop crime. You look on 57th Street alone from east to west, it’s become a danger zone.”
The Guardian Angels began in New York in 1979 as an unarmed citizen’s-protection group to oppose widespread crime at that time, which waxes and wanes with the degree of official tolerance of it.
Bragg has become known as a prosecutor who winks at or minimizes some crime while also blundering into embarrassments.
An April 17 New York Post story on the hearing cited a bodega worker who Bragg initially charged with murder for defending himself from an attacker at his store, but then dropped the charge after an outcry. It quoted an attorney speaking in English for bodega worker Jose Alba: “I am not here because I’m supporting Republicans. I am not here because I want to criticize the Democrats. I just want to tell the public about the horrible experience I had to go through because of crime in this city.”

Talking To A Robot

Meanwhile, Biden’s Homeland Security secretary, Alejandro Mayorkas, continues to present a defiant face to those who expect him to do his job of protecting U.S. borders. However, he’s doing an excellent job of what Biden expects him to do — helping destroy the U.S.
To try to talk to Mayorkas is like trying to talk to a robot.
During an April 18 Senate hearing. Sen. Ron Johnson (R., Wis.) criticized Mayorkas over how much border violation has increased under his tenure, despite the bureaucrat’s claims to care about doing his job.
Johnson said that if border security is “a priority, how did we let four to five million people in this country in a little over two years? The population of 20 to almost 30 states, and you’re saying this is a priority?”
The senator asked, “Do you not care? Do you not have an ounce of human compassion for what your open-border policy, the type of human depredation it is causing?”
National Review magazine reported that Sen. Josh Hawley (R., Mo.) cited a New York Times article about illegal-immigrant minors being pressed into jobs — “Twelve-year-old roofers in Florida and Tennessee. Underage slaughterhouse workers in Delaware, Mississippi, and North Carolina. Children sawing planks of wood on overnight shifts in South Dakota,” the article said.
Given this picture, a person might recall the incredible spectacle of left-wing Sen. Charles Schumer (D., N.Y.) having complained that more workers need to be brought into the U.S. because of a labor shortage – after
Schumer has done all he can for decades to destroy the U.S. workforce through massive permissive abortion.
Schumer even stood outside the Supreme Court building during a pro-abortion demonstration in 2020 and threatened two of the justices by name — Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch — if they were to rule against lax abortion. Schumer foamed, “You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price. You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.”
It was such a remarkable outburst that Chief Justice John Roberts, hardly a publicly outspoken figure, made a statement later that day to admonish Schumer.
NBC News reported on March 4, 2020, “In a highly unusual written statement issued late Wednesday [March 4], Roberts said, ‘Statements of this sort from the highest levels of government are not only inappropriate, they are dangerous’.”

At The Expense Of Women

No doubt dangerous, but perhaps not more dangerous than having a radical leftist U.S. government being headed by an elderly man whose mind decays day after day — yet Biden still is indulged and accommodated by the power elite instead of being dragged out of the White House before he can start a nuclear war.
When Biden took his criminal son Hunter along on his April trip to Ireland, it seemed Joe was being defiant, flaunting the presence of the unindicted lawbreaker.
However, national conservative radio talk host Ben Ferguson suggested on April 16 there was a different reason: Blundering Biden simply must have a handler at his side, and if wife Dr. Jill isn’t there, someone else has to be.
When a youngster there asked Biden what the top step to success is, Biden didn’t understand what the child meant and babbled along about COVID, about disagreeing with people, questioning their motives, a long-dead North Carolina senator, getting angry at this senator then admitting his reaction was incorrect — It’s a good thing the youngster didn’t ask Biden how to split the atom.
Although frail Biden has to be protected, and not only by the Secret Service, he doesn’t think women athletes deserve being set apart from aggressive male competitors who fancy that they’re women, too.
On April 17 the White House issued a statement saying that Biden would veto the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act if it reaches his desk.
Fox News Digital reported that swimming champion Riley Gaines reacted by saying Biden was putting a “radical minority” ahead of women across the country. Fox News Digital quoted her: “The president has declared that science, truth, and common sense no longer matter. In opposing this bill, President Biden is catering to a radical minority at the expense of women, who are 51 percent of the population.
“Equal opportunity, privacy, and safety in our sports shouldn’t be controversial,” Gaines said. “The women who once advocated for Title IX should be outraged as this goes against everything they fought for. Female athletes of all ages, levels, and sports deserve better.”
