America Faces No Greater Threat Than Joe Biden and the Democrat Party. Their Assault to Our Borders Is As Great As Their Assault to Free Speech and Free Elections

AMERICAN TOTALITARIANISM - IT'S ALL PART OF THE GLOBALIST AGENDA FOR BILLIONAIRES AND WALL STREET
Fifty-nine percent? Really? While we can reasonably accept that the Democrat faithful support Biden’s policies, are there really that many other Americans on board with open borders, gas prices rising 35% or more, a plan to greenlight Iran’s nuclear development, ending voter ID, obsessive efforts to destroy race relations and demonize white people, packing the Supreme Court, and adding two new states?
"Exile" conjures images of banished figures like Napoleon, who languished on the island of Elba, rendered powerless by isolation.
Groups of people considered troublemakers also have been exiled from their lands. Diasporas of "undesirables" like the Jews have been a constant in the history of nations whose rulers wanted to be rid of what they considered indigestible elements.
Exile within one's own country by a totalitarian regime has been less noted.
For such an enterprise, we may look at Vichy France, which was under the thrall and control of a fascist political system imported by Germany but facilitated by French citizens. Non-conformists found themselves termed by Charles Maurras as "internal foreigners," exiled within their own country. Measures favored by an imported ideology were enacted against them.
Anyone familiar with the actions of the Vichy government under orders from a foreign power notes its capitulation to Nazi policies on race. Many of the "internal foreigners" were Jews, who soon were exiled from the administration, armed forces, entertainment, arts, media, and most professions. French police confiscated phones and radios while establishing curfews and prohibiting travel.
Increasingly, in America, large groups of citizens also are being exiled while still within their own country. Seen as troublesome obstacles to unity and peace, the stripping of their power and even their voices has accelerated during the last year, particularly during the last few months — be it the rules and regulations surrounding the advent of COVID-19 or the suppression of free speech by the MSM and tech giants, or the imposition of laws millions find repressive.
A corrupt voting process has deprived millions of meaningful participation within their republic. Meanwhile, integrity of citizenship itself is imperiled by the erasure of the nation's boundaries and the granting of privileges to non-citizens.
Second, Americans have been deprived of their property, which has essentially been confiscated by the State in the interest of public "health." Businesses have been shut down and, when partly opened, managed by bureaucrats who dictate how a business such as a restaurant may be run. Apartment buildings have also essentially been confiscated via restrictions on landlords, who cannot evict renters for not paying rent.
The properties essentially have been seized by the State. Regardless of the supposed purity of the motives behind the seizures, it is the State that will decide if and when it will give them back.
But most importantly, like individuals who are removed from their country, exiled Americans have experienced loss of community and communication. The forced isolation of Americans and the shutdown of nearly all institutions have deprived Americans of supportive communities. Churches, schools, museums, concert halls, political groups, and even family gatherings such as funerals and weddings have become tightly regulated. Many communities have either disappeared altogether or retreated into cyberspace.
The result has been the exile of millions from normal society. Among those exiled internally by a hostile government controlled by radical ideologues: political conservatives, Christians, white males, and other indigestible groups. Offenders of the new protocols become outcasts deprived of any comfort or protection of a group of like-minded companions. Isolation is accompanied by paralysis resulting from the inability to act in concert.
The rationale behind their exclusion from meaningful participation within society is found in the dogmatic standards put forth by Critical Race Theory and cultural Marxism. Those standards find their genesis in revolutions inspired by the French Revolution, which standards have been reinforced by philosophers like Jean-Paul Sartre and Michel Foucault, who, imitating the ideals of Marx, have a visceral hatred of bourgeois society and who, like the Marquis de Sade, have an almost boundless sympathy for groups like the insane, the sexually perverted, and criminals.
In order to change society to include formerly excluded groups, groups such as the bourgeoisie, AKA the middle class, must be exiled from participation in the political process. They and the institutions that formerly empowered them must be radically changed or done away with altogether in order the formerly marginalized are empowered.
The bourgeoisie are to be denied permeability and fluidity necessary ever again to rise to the upper classes of power. Since the power of the bourgeoisie is seen as systemic, intrinsically evil, and exclusionary, it is considered only just that former "power brokers" are exiled within their own country for the sins inherent to their class and race. It is considered just to give their positions to those deemed their victims. The former rule of law, which forbade the punishment of the children for their forefathers' sins is upended and societal realignment according to the new order proceeds. However, though fixed in societal stasis, the exiled bourgeoisie will still be taxed.
As Hannah Arendt pointed out in her essay "Ideology and Terror: A Novel Form of Government," isolation and the resultant impotence isolation brings are one of the "primary concerns of all tyrannical governments[.] ... Isolation and impotence, that is the fundamental inability to act at all, have always been characteristic of tyrannies. Political contacts between men are severed in tyrannical governments and the human capacities for action and power are frustrated."
Who can dispute the fact that Americans have been isolated and their communal ability to take action, even to worship according to the standards and rituals of their faith, has been smashed, with the result that the capacities for action and political power are frustrated — except for those entities allied with the radical left?
As Arendt points out, totalitarianism is not content with the destruction of public institutions; it destroys private life as well. Even the core institution of the family has been blasted to smithereens. Families find themselves no longer recognized or protected by the government. They are uprooted and rendered superfluous, as not belonging to the world at all.
Totalitarianism happens when the government itself becomes a criminal enterprise or becomes beholden to and under the control of a criminal enterprise. As former mobster Michael Franzese points out, it happens when the government itself becomes the mafia.
Suddenly, the former rule of law is supplanted; in fact, all former standards are supplanted and a new order installed. Former categories that made society intelligible break down. The public can no longer make sense of what is going on. The citizenry is at sea. As Arendt put it, whenever totalitarianism "rose to power, it developed entirely new political institutions and destroyed all social, legal and political traditions of the country[.] ... [T]hey started to operate according to a system of values so radically different from all others, that none of our traditional legal, moral, or commonsense utilitarian categories could any longer help us come to terms with, or judge, or predict its course of action."
Here in America, radical ideologues are accomplishing what amounts to a hostile takeover of our country. They are targeting "undesirables" who are being slated for exile within their own country.
If they are allowed to continue, and the effort to pack the Supreme Court is but one indication that they will continue, the result will be totalitarianism. The new order will create a fake "unity," and it certainly will kill the republic.
The miracle of America has been due in large part to the permeability and fluidity of its classes, which in turn has been due to the adherence to the Constitution and the rule of law as applicable to everyone regardless of class or status. The vanishing of that fluidity and of the country's capacity for continued reform via the rule of law and the Constitution has invited the beast of totalitarianism, which is always fed by a singularity of interpretation. Be it race, sex, or "science," the ideological equivalent of the Theory of Everything is a singularity that leads to totalitarianism. Singularities have been characteristic of every dictator of the last century or more.
The answer to the rapid encroachment of totalitarianism in America and the resultant exile of its millions of citizens: restoration of the rule of law, particularly as expressed in the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights.
Therein lie the guarantees for freedom and justice for all.

Democrat-run institutions are cheating to prop up the Biden administration
In three months, Joe Biden has effectively erased all American norms. Worse, he’s done so by executive fiat rather than the legislative process. It’s likely that only Democrats (and not even all Democrats) support him. Nevertheless, a Pew poll, which the media is shilling, assures us that he’s got a 59% approval rating. Dig into the poll, though, and it’s a lie -- just as CBS lied when it shaved footage from the video of Adam Toldeo’s shooting to hide the firearm he’d been holding. In other words, we are being sold a narrative that has nothing to do with the truth.
Fifty-nine percent? Really? While we can reasonably accept that the Democrat faithful support Biden’s policies, are there really that many other Americans on board with open borders, gas prices rising 35% or more, a plan to greenlight Iran’s nuclear development, ending voter ID, obsessive efforts to destroy race relations and demonize white people, packing the Supreme Court, and adding two new states?
It turns out that, as to some of those things, we know that most Americans oppose Biden’s policies. On Court-packing, an October poll that the New York Times conducted showed that 58% of likely voters oppose it. Americans feel even more strongly about voter ID: 75% of them support it. Americans also disapprove of Biden’s border policy, with 55% of them saying he’s doing a bad job and only 29% saying he’s doing a good job.
If you’re wondering how that translates into a 59% approval rating, just remember the line about lies, damn lies, and statistics. When people delved into Pew’s sampling, it turned out that the poll gave Democrats a huge advantage. (H/t Twitchy)
It is the unweighted sample size, not sure where they still skewed it a little more towards Dems 52-43. pic.twitter.com/PhnN7Dr93V
The raw sample was D+31. Any decent pollster would tell you you can't wait such a sample and get anything that's not biased. Not to mention weighting to D+9 is nuts also
There’s something downright Soviet about puffing up support for a politician that way.
And then there’s CBS’s effort to create more racial strife and violence in connection with 13-year-old Adam Toldeo’s death. “Lil Homicide” as he was known on the streets, ran with a violent gang. He was out at 2 a.m. with a 21-year-old and one or the other was shooting at cars.
When the police caught up with Toledo, the bodycam on the police officer who fired the shots showed that Lil Homicide had a gun in his hands which he threw aside 1-2 seconds before the officer fired – a time period too short for the police officer’s brain, which had recognized a lethal threat, to recompute and hold his fire.
CBS didn’t like that narrative, so it changed it. (H/t The Gateway Pundit.)
Full video here. *At best*, CBS News looked at an explosive issue like a controversial police shooting & prioritized mobile screen viewing optimization over showing the full body camera footage (and thus edited out a key fact leading up to the shooting).https://t.co/b1P814LGjN
This video is deceptively edited and cuts out the portion of the police officer’s body camera footage that showed that the suspect was holding a gun https://t.co/FC4C6W1CZipic.twitter.com/f9JUAaUYAn
I don’t blame the police officer. I blame whoever was responsible for a 13-year-old boy who was out running with guns and shooting at people in the middle of the night. And if Toledo deliberately escaped from someone trying to keep him safe, 13 or not, he’s responsible for his own death. Remember that, in a pre-modern era, 13-year-olds were adults and expected to live (or die) with adult consequences.
But back to my main point: No matter what the polls and the media tell you while Biden is in the White House, don’t trust it; always verify it. They might be telling the truth, but the chances are excellent that they’re actively lying or simply shading the truth to present a narrative in which Biden is a competent, pro-American president, police are mowing Blacks down in a second Holocaust, and our abandoning liberty and giving ourselves up entirely to leftism is the answer to all our problems.
Biden DOJ Wins Lawsuit to Seize 260-Year-Old Texas Ranch Along Border
The Biden Administration took control of a Texas rancher’s border land on Wednesday. The action followed a victory by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Texas against the family which has owned the land since 1760.
Texas rancher Fred Cavazon has been fighting to keep control of his 6,584 acre ranch along the Texas-Mexico border since the administration of then-President George W. Bush. The fight continued during the Trump administration, Law & Crime reported.
That fight came to an abrupt conclusion on April 12 with U.S. District Court Judge Micaela Alvarez awarded the federal government control of the land. Two days later, the Biden Administration took possession of the acreage.
BLOG EDITOR: SOCIOPATH LAWYER JOE BIDEN CAN'T OPEN HIS FAT MOUTH WITHOUT MORE LIFE POURING OUT!
In August 2020, then-candidate Joe Biden told reporters he would end all lawsuits seeking control of land along the Mexican border to be used to build border walls, the legal blog reported.
The Biden Department of Justice took over the lawsuit in January 2021. Law & Crime reported:
The government still wanted that land condemned. The Cavazos family and their attorneys had hoped the 46th president would stand by his August 2020 words and stop fighting in court for Trump’s border wall. But Biden didn’t do that. The lawsuits were not withdrawn.
…
Citing the government’s need for “urgency of possession,” the district court held that the Biden administration “is entitled to immediate possession of the Subject Property.”
“All pending border wall cases should have immediately been put on hold and not left open for judges to follow through on requests made months earlier,” American Immigration Council Aaron Reichlin-Melnick tweeted.
“We took him at his word,” family member Reynaldo Anzaldua Cavazos toldThe Washington Post. “He is not keeping that word.”
The family’s claim on the land is older than the United States of America. The property claim dates back to 1760, the Post stated.
The Biden Administration appears to have no comment on the legal victory and seizure of the Texas rancher’s land.
Case number 7:20-cv-00244 completed in the U.S. Southern District Court of Texas, McAllen Division.
President Joe Biden’s half-open, half-closed border is creating chaos south of the border and is pulverizing his support among Latino and independents likely voters north of the border.
Biden’s policies have gotten him 64 percent disapproval among independents, and 55 percent disapproval among Latinos, according to a Quinnipiac poll of 1,237 adults, conducted April 8-12.
Just 22 percent of swing-voting independents and 27 percent of Latinos support Biden’s policy to extricate hundreds of thousands of migrants from their countries into a Hunger Games-style obstacle course, so they can be used in the U.S. economy.
GOP voters strongly oppose these policies, so the Quinnipiac numbers translate into a national disapproval rate of 55 percent, with just 29 percent approval for Biden’s immigration policy:
Quinnipiac Poll
Biden also got bad news from a second poll by Morning Consult and Politico.
The second poll showed that his border policy has only 10 percent strong support from political independents and only 16 percent strong support from people who are neither white nor black.
The poll’s panel of 501 political independents showed 14 percent “somewhat disapprove” and 36 percent “strongly disapprove” of Biden’s policies. Also, a large 19 percent share of respondents declined to respond, saying they “don’t know” or have “no opinion.”
Among the 128 non-white/non-black voters in the poll, Biden now faces 22 percent strong disapproval, 17 percent “somewhat” disapproval, and a huge 26 percent “don’t know” pool of potential additional opposition. The population includes a mix of Latino and Asian citizens, many of whom are legal immigrants.
The Morning Consult poll was taken from April 9-12 and included 1,992 registered voters.
GOP legislators are testing new emotional language to criticize Biden’s border policies.
The more-in-sorrow-than-anger language is intended to win over non-ideological swing voters — and also the growing number of swing-voting, populist-minded Latino voters.
The language avoids criticism of the foreign migrants — or of the many, many business executives who cheat Americans by hiring cheaper illegal migrants. The language also drops the GOP’s default language about “socialism” or “welfare.”
Instead, it portrays Biden as both reckless and heartless towards Americans and migrants — mimicking how Democrats slammed President Donald Trump’s pro-American policies as “cruel” to “kids in cages” while ignoring the larger picture.
“What’s happening now is the drug cartels are running America’s southern border,” Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA), the GOP’s House whip, said Thursday. “They’re making millions of dollars a day off of this enterprise that was created by President Biden’s executive actions, and [U.S. border agents] don’t want to be at midnight changing diapers when instead they could be stopping fentanyl and heroin from coming into America’s border.”

“We went to a nighttime tour of the border,” Rep. Michale McCaul (R-TX) said Thursday. “Thousands of people coming in — [including] children. I call it a Trail of Tears because it was so sad to see a five-year-old girl in tears, not knowing where she is, without our parents, without her family. We talked to some of them in Spanish. [It] took 40 days to cross from Guatemala up to the border. Forty days of misery, all created by the president United States, by the stroke of a pen.”

There is growing demand from voters for GOP legislators to recognize and criticize the damage done by labor migration to Americans’ wages, health, homes, and states.
Overall, the two polls show Biden is losing altitude amid the border crisis. For example, Quinnipiac showed Biden’s approval rate dropping from 50 percent in mid-February to 48 percent in mid-April, while disapproval jumped from 38 percent to 42 percent.
Politico’s poll showed his strong approval at 35 percent, while his “somewhat” approval was at 25 percent, and disapproval at 37 percent.
The two polls do not ask voters why they disapprove of Biden’s border policies. Some Democrats disapprove of Biden because he is not is welcoming even more migrants at the border. Nonetheless, the vast majority of polls do show that the public wants less migrant competition for work and wages.
The voter opposition to elite-backed economic migration coexists with support for legal immigrants and some sympathy for illegal migrants. But only a minority of Americans — mostly Leftists — embrace the many skewed polls and articles pushing the 1950’s corporate “Nation of Immigrants” claim.
The deep public opposition to labor migration is built on the widespread recognition that migration moves money away from most Americans’ pocketbooks and families. It moves money from employees to employers, from families to investors, from young to old, from children to their parents, from homebuyers to real estate investors, from red states to blue states, and from the centralstates to the coastal states such as New York.
The business-backed Heritage Action group and the populist Republican Study Committee offer rival talking points for GOP Reps who need to talk about migration — but who also worry about reactions from the local chamber. https://t.co/QVg7U3TnnY
