The Left Has Pushed the Envelope
American Greatness ^ | May 24, 2023 | Victor Davis Hanson

Posted on 05/25/2023 5:12:39 AM PDT by Heartlander

Why are our government, corporations, and popular culture colluding in mass suicide—to the delight of our enemies like Communist China?

The Left is waging a full-fledged cultural revolution against traditional America. And the Maoist results are often as absurd as they are terrifying.

Special-counsel John Durham just issued his final report on wrongdoing within the FBI, CIA, and the Department of Justice.

The summary confirms that our premier investigatory and intelligence agencies interfered in the 2016 and 2020 presidential campaigns.

Directors and high-ranking FBI officials lied under oath. They misled Congress. They altered court documents and deceived federal judges.

The FBI hired a foreign national to gather dirt on Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign—while he was being paid by the rival Hillary Clinton campaign.

The FBI contracted Twitter to suppress news stories. It kept the Hunter Biden laptop under wraps, even as former intelligence officials flat out lied it was likely “Russian disinformation.” That was a blatant effort to aid the 2020 Biden campaign.

The IRS just conceded whistleblowers were correct and the agency fired its entire multiyear audit team responsible for investigating Hunter Biden’s purported tax irregularities.

The agency claimed it was ordered to do so by the Department of Justice, headed by Biden’s appointee Merrick Garland.

California is facing a crushing $32 billion deficit. Yet it flirts with an $800 billion-dollar “reparations” payout to the state’s black residents.

No one has any idea where the money for that would come from. No one can define who would qualify. No one can explain why a state that never allowed slavery eight generations ago now owes selected Californians billions of dollars it does not have.

One of the reparations board leaders asserts blacks might be willing to accept an “installment” plan of payments.

The NAACP just issued a “travel alert” advising blacks not to visit Florida...

“Directors and high-ranking FBI officials lied under oath. They misled Congress. They altered court documents and deceived federal judges.”

And not one of them has paid so much as a $5.00 fine, let alone being sent to prison. The precedent has been set and there’s no going back.

“The Left Has Pushed the Envelope“

If this is news to anyone they’re too dumb to be allowed to vote or even to be allowed to dress themselves

For the most part I agree. There may be Leftist/Progressives that are encountering these truths for the first time, however. By God’s grace, some eyes are still being opened.

Why is China delighted? All Democrats, media, academia, Hollywood and corporations are CCP members. And they’re doing a good job. It will be a sad day for them when the Chi Coms take over and march them to a gulag to harvest their body parts.

The left wins. They intent to win and they make it happen. They put out an “issue” and all of a sudden it’s everywhere! As a whole the right can’t even put their socks on because the right is helping them to advance leftist agenda. It’s true. R’s are designated losers.

However, are we reaching a tipping point where the people, who are not radical leftists living inside the left wing bubbles of the East and west coast, say enough? The firestorm over the Bud Lite trans spokesperson is not abating and may kill what had been the country’s top selling brand. Target stores are pulling some of their most egregious trans products, though stupidly trying to blame customers for “threatening” their employees as a reason. School boards are facing new scrutiny as parents learn that their kids are being taught CRT and being groomed by the LBQT etc. mob. There is growing pushback against have hulking males pretending to be females competing in women’s athletics. Finally even liberal sanctuary cities are saying enough to the third world hoards of illegals pouring across our open borders. Has the left gone for the bridge too far…let’s hope so.k

Ask yourself this:

Why wouldn’t the left in the US be in collusion with communists all over the world?

Yes, each communist group wants to lead the world, but that cannot happen until countries like the US are destroyed.

So, they work together, destroy the US and after the entire world is under multiple communist regimes, then they can fight it out for dominance.
