Horowitz Video: The Moral Depravity of the Democrat Party
[Order your copy of David’s new best-seller, Final Battle: HERE!]
Freedom Center founder David Horowitz recently spoke at The Brown Palace in Denver, Colorado on May 2, 2023 about the moral depravity of the Democrat Party — including the Marxist takeover of our schools, the corruption of the 2020 election, and much more.
Don’t miss this inspiring speech below — but first, read David’s personal letter to all FrontPage Mag readers:
Dear FrontPage Reader,
My new book has been a runaway bestseller.
But it’s being censored.
Almost a total ban.
Even though my book sales far, far surpassed other bestsellers — The New York Times won’t include me on their bestseller list.
All the major networks — including Fox News — won’t even mention “Final Battle: The Next Election Could Be the Last.”
Frankly, I was stunned by Fox’s reaction.
That was until Tucker Carlson was fired.
You should know my book reveals the Left’s end game: creating a one-party, authoritarian socialist state in this country.
Soon after Tucker was fired, he released a video saying a “one-party state” had arrived.
As I discuss in “Final Battle” — the left believes conservative and dissenting voices must be shut down.
Consider that Tucker was the #1 cable news host in America.
And he was shut down.
Consider President Trump was “president” and the leader of the Republican Party today.
And he has been shut down by major media.
I was told President Trump was shocked when he first read “Final Battle.”
A friend told me that he said this book “explains it all.”
I was grateful for President Trump’s strong endorsement for “Final Battle.”
He even posted an urgent message to Truth Social, telling Americans everywhere “Get David Horowitz’s book ‘Final Battle’.”
Dennis Prager, one of the nation’s leading conservative thinkers who heads PragerU, said he agrees with Trump, writing:
“‘Final Battle’ may be the most devastating book-length indictment of the Democratic Party yet written.
This is nothing less than a handbook for the salvation of the United States of America.”
All the major media — even Fox News — is banning any mention of “Final Battle” as it soars to the top of the bestseller lists . . .

About this time twenty years ago I was sitting in the dining room at this very hotel, meeting with the Republican leadership of the state legislature headed by my friend John Andrews who would have been here tonight except that it’s his birthday and he had a prior engagement with his family.
In those days Colorado was still a red state. Bill Owens whom I had already met with was governor and John was leader of the Senate. Chairing the meeting was my dear friend Steve Schuck who is here with us tonight.
Steve is the most generous and dedicated man I know. Over the past twenty and more years he has been a great friend and supporter of mine and of the Freedom Center, and of this event.
I also want to thank Shari Williams head of the Leadership Program of the Rockies, who couldn’t be here herself but encouraged her members to come.
The title of my new book – Final Battle: The Next Election Could be the Last – may seem like hyperventilation, but in fact it is a sober and disturbing portrait of where we are as a nation. Which is why Donald Trump has not only endorsed my book but has used its title Final Battle to describe his presidential campaign. It is also why for four straight months it has been the #1 best-selling book on elections and politics on Amazon.
“Woke” has become a term to describe the enemies of our country who have colonized our schools and taught our next generations to hate America, hate white people and trash our history and national pride. How to explain this travesty? It began fifty years ago when the anti-American, Marxist left set its sights on taking over our schools.
In fact the purpose of my meeting at the Brown Palace twenty years ago was to launch a national campaign for an Academic Bill of Rights that would protect students from indoctrination by these leftwing ideologues who were busy transforming our schools into indoctrination and recruitment centers for Marxist causes and the Democrat Party. The key agenda of my Academic Bill of Rights was that students should be presented in a fair and dispassionate manner with both sides of controversial questions, and should be assigned readings representing both sides as well.
Knowing that the previous decades had witnessed a large-scale purge of conservatives from university faculties, the very first principle of my Academic Bill of Rights was that no faculty member could be hired, fired, promoted or demoted for their political views. The next day the Denver Post’s lead editorial was an attack on me and my proposal warning that a conservative right-winger from California had come to Colorado for the purpose of getting liberal teachers fired. The Brazen Lie culture of the left was already firmly entrenched …. And very effective at intimidating conservatives and Republicans.
Many of you may have thought that the takeover of our educational system by anti-American Marxists happened overnight. It didn’t. It was five decades in the making. But conservatives and Republicans chose not to notice it. And when they did notice it, they were reluctant to fight.
If you want to understand the disasters that have befallen our country, you have to begin with the failure of Republicans and conservatives to aggressively wage the political war necessary to defend it.
The anti-American left attacks patriotic Americans as “white supremacists,” “racists” “domestic terrorists” and “insurrectionists.” And we respond by calling them “liberals.” There is nothing about them that is liberal. They are vindictive bigots, determined to demonize and destroy us.
Their intimidation has been working like a charm. While Senator Andrews was able to get Republicans to support the principles of my Academic Bill of Rights they were only prepared to support a “Resolution” not a law. So it lacked any teeth to enforce it. The Democrats were happy with this result, and John was able to put together a Joint Resolution supported by both parties which passed both Colorado chambers unanimously.
But the cynical Democrats, as usual, were acting in bad faith, and nothing happened as a result. The Democrats had achieved their goal of supporting the transformation of the educational system into an indoctrination and recruitment Center for the anti-American political left.
I wrote 5 books documenting the Marxist takeover of the schools They sold about 100,000 copies and I had high level contacts with Republican leaders like Newt Gingrich and Speaker John Boehner. I also created a national organization called Students for Academic Freedom. However, nothing came of our efforts but toothless resolutions like the one in Colorado.
Boehner even inserted a Resolution endorsing the Academic Bill of Rights into the Education Authorization Act, which meant that federal funds would be withdrawn from any institution that didn’t implement its principles. That’s if it was formulated as a law. But it wasn’t.
The result of these failures was the destruction of our educational system and the atrocities committed against our youth today from gender transitioning behind parental backs to teaching that America was created in 1619 as a white supremacist slave state.
The Democrat Party is no longer controlled by a liberal left but by Marxist zealots who willfully disregard the Marxist atrocities and failures of the past. Democrats no longer respect the sovereign individual, the rule of law, or the primary values of the Constitution –the equality of races, the spirit of compromise or the decentralization of power.
Instead, Democrats regard the Constitution as a white supremacist document written by rich white slaveowners, designed to oppress all other genders and races. Its mentality is that of European fascism and Soviet communism, and its immediate goal is a one-party state.
This is actually a bad news/good news story. The bad news is that the tremendous damage to our country was made possible because Republicans and patriots failed to address the threat when it could have been nipped in the bud. The good news is that we can take our country back if we’re willing to fight now.
2. The 2020 Election
I came tonight ready to talk about some of the themes of Final Battle: The Next Election Could Be The Last. The public debate about the 2020 election like all public debates has been framed by Democrats’ readiness to demonize their opponents and make brazenly false accusations about their actions and motives. According to Democrats the 2020 election was the fairest, most just election ever. Anyone who questions this preposterous conclusion, moreover, is committing an unthinkable act of treason – and constitutes an existential threat to our democracy.
In the real world, as opposed to this fiction, Democrats themselves have questioned the legitimacy of every single presidential election that Republicans have won since 1980. They have done so by going to the well of the House to call for the de-certification of Republican electors.
The reality is that Democrats have been stealing elections since the days of Tammany Hall, and their alliances with big city mafias. It is a widely accepted fact that John F. Kennedy was elected by the narrowest of margins with the help of Sam Giancana and the Chicago mob who stuffed the ballot boxes and voted the cemeteries in Cook County.
Here’s the reality of the 2020 election, which Biden officially won by .027% of the vote or 43,000 votes out of 159 million. In other words roughly 20,000 out of 159 million votes could have changed the result.
It is often overlooked that in this election President Trump became the only sitting president in the history of the country to increase his vote total in seeking a second term, which he did by increasing it 11 million votes to 74 million. Biden, who campaigned from his basement got 80 million votes if you can believe the official tally, or roughly 16 million more than Obama at his peak.
These results didn’t happen by normal campaigning. In July 2020, six months before the presidential election, the Democrats sent out a task force of 600 lawyers and 10,000 volunteers, whose mission was to change the election rules and tip the scales in Biden’s favor.
According to the U.S. Constitution, the election rules are set by the state legislatures. But in key battleground states like Georgia and Pennsylvania, as a result of Democrat lobbying the election rules were not set by the legislatures that Republicans controlled. In Georgia they were set by a backroom deal between a Trump-hating Republican Secretary of State and Hillary Clinton’s fixer law firm, Perkins Coie.
In Pennsylvania, where Republicans also controlled the state legislature, the election rules were set by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court which had a 5-2 Democrat majority. Eleven days before the election they removed the signature verification requirement. Now why would they do that, except to cheat? And in fact one ballot dump of 570,000 votes in the middle of the night in Pennsylvania assigned 99.4% of the votes to Biden and only .6% to Trump.
To protest travesties like this, the Trump team submitted 61 lawsuits with massive documentation of irregularities. None of this evidence was ever examined.
Trump felt abandoned by the Republican legislatures that allowed the Democrats to ignore the Constitution and deliver election authority to Democrat-controlled entities that would tilt the scales in their favor.
In changing the election rules, the Democrat task force did not pursue random agendas but followed a strategic plan, based on how their changes would make it easier to cheat.
Their model was provided by the Carter-Baker Commission on Election Reform. The 2000 Bush-Gore election had irregularities that eventually had to be resolved by the Supreme Court which decided the election in favor of Bush. The problems with election integrity were so severe that in 2005, Jimmy Carter and Bush’s former chief of staff formed the bi-partisan Carter-Baker Commission. The Commission issued a report listing the chief reforms necessary to ensure election integrity and make cheating more difficult.
In 2020, the strategy adopted by the Democrat task force was to reverse every recommendation of the Carter-Baker Commission and make cheating easier.
Number one of the Carter-Baker recommendations was to avoid the use of unsolicited paper ballots. It described these as “the main source of potential voter fraud.” In the 2020 presidential election, Democrat secretaries of state sent out 44 million unsolicited paper ballots dramatically increasing the opportunities for voter fraud.
The second key recommendation of the Commission was to increase the number of laws requiring voter I.D.’s to cast a ballot. The Democrats launched an endless smear campaign against voter I.D.s calling them Jim Crow 2.0 – a racist attempt to suppress minority votes. There was zero evidence to back up this claim since minorities were voting in record numbers in states with voter-I.D. laws. Other reforms recommended by the Commission were to ban third party ballot harvesting opaerations and unguarded ballot boxes. In other words to prevent voting by proxy. All of these voting methods were required by the new rules the Democrats put in place.
January 6th was the date set to certify the electors. On that day Trump gave his famous “Stop the Steal” speech, which has been maliciously described by Democrats as a criminal “incitement to insurrection.” This was absurd on its face, since Trump had offered the Capitol Police and Nancy Pelosi 10,000 national guardsmen to control the crowds. Trump’s offer was duly noted by the Inspector General who attended the meeting. Pelosi and the Democrat-controlled Capitol Police rejected the offer.
In his Stop the Steal speech, Trump described some of the more egregious ballot-fixing actions of the Democrats, blamed the looming loss of the election on “weak Republicans” who allowed these changes in the law to happen. He urged his followers to march “peacefully” and “patriotically” to the Capitol to stiffen weak Republican spines.
If you fail to do so, Trump added, you must go home and primary the weak Republicans so we can win the next election.
You could not imagine a speech less insurrectionary or more respectful of the democratic process than that.
Later that day, a relatively peaceful protest took place inside the Capitol that was immediately attacked by the Democrats as an “armed insurrection” and the most heinous crime in American history comparable to 9/11 and the burning of the White House in 1812.
More likely, this was the biggest lie in American history. No arms were found among the 800 or so people arrested. This forced the Democrats to revise their smear and call it just an insurrection. But you can’t overthrow the government without arms. That didn’t deter Democrats from ritualistically describing January 6th as an “insurrection” driven by white supremacy and Islamophobia as though that was reality instead of a hoax. The Democrats also claimed that 5 Capitol police officers were killed by the demonstrators. The correct number is zero. Four of the deaths were suicides months after the 6th and one was by a Trump supporting Capitol Police officer who died of a stroke in his bed at home on January 7. But shameless Democrat leaders like Joe Biden and Hakeem Jeffries were still repeating this lie as late as last fall.
Only one person was shot and killed on January 6th in the Capitol. Ashli Babbitt was a five-foot tall air force veteran who was unarmed and threatening no one when she was murdered by a Capitol police officer. The murder was captured on video. Nancy Pelosi hid the identity of the shooter for months while she quashed any investigation, then publicly exonerated him, and gave him a medal.
A real investigation – if it would have been allowed to happen could have led to the conclusion that Pelosi was an accomplice to murder. This is a measure of how criminal the Democrat Party has become.
3. The Biden Regime
Biden’s inauguration was January 20. He began with a brazen lie that he would unify the country and represent both those who voted for him and those who did not.
Then he issued a series of executive orders that illegally and unconstitutionally nullified our immigration laws, and welcomed a flood of unvetted illegals from 200 countries to invade our country. This was the greatest crime ever committed by our government against its own people.
Here’s a glimpse of its impact: In 2018 the Government Accounting Office issued a report on the number of illegal migrants in American prisons and jails in the five years between 2011 and 2016. Keep in mind that during Joe Biden’s first two years in office more illegals entered the country than in all twelve years of the Obama and Trump presidencies combined. So you can probably multiply the following figures by a factor of 3.
According to the Government Accounting Office, in the five years between 2011 and 2016, there were 730,000 illegals in U.S. prisons and jails. They accounted for 4.9 million arrests thanks to the revolving door that Democrats have provided criminals with and 7.5 million crimes. These crimes included 1 million drug arrests, 500,000 assaults, 134,000 sexual assaults, 24,000 kidnappings, 33,000 homicides and 1500 terrorist-related events.
Even worse in measuring the moral depths to which the Democrat Party has sunk is to consider the fate of unaccompanied minors under their rule. Recall Democrats’ outrage when Trump arrested the illegal parents of 4000 minors who were not allowed under American law to accompany their parents to prison while they were being processed for deportation.
They remained in the facilities that Obama had built, cared for by Border Patrol. Democrat outrage knew no bounds. Biden personally accused Trump of “ripping babies from the arms of their mothers” and put in cages reminiscent of Auschwitz. This slander was hammered home by Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and every other leading Democrat. “It’s criminal” Biden said in disgust. Responding to the faux outrage, Trump ended the policy within two months.
But when Biden took charge f the Oval Office, he made it a point to welcome unaccompanied minors to come to the United States, assuring them they would not be deported.
So instead of 4,000 parentless kids temporarily separated, the number exploded to 250,000 with 100,000 of those “lost” – that is, somewhere in the United States unknown to our government and in the tender care of ruthless drug cartels, sex traffickers and other criminals ready to rape and exploit them as child laborers in jobs that adults won’t do.
This unconscionable treatment of migrant children is a horrifying stain on our country, inflicted by the morally depraved leadership of the Democrat Party.
What is the goal of this radicalized party that leads to such atrocities? It is the dismantling of the American system and its replacement by a totalitarian state.
In addition to his illegal destruction of America’s borders, Biden announced at his inaugural that the main theme of his domestic policy would be “Equity” – by which he meant a government redistribution of resources, wealth and privileges by skin color. To justify this policy Biden claimed that America was and had always been a systemically racist society, and that systemic racism touched every aspect of American life.
These were monstrous lies, worthy of our most dedicated enemies, which, thanks to the radical takeover of the schools have become the dominant view of America’s record on race relations. It is an attitude designed to destroy our country and its political system by making Americans ashamed of their national heritage, and actual achievements in providing opportunity to all.
For the record, there is no systemic racism in American institutions. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 specifically outlawed systemic racism. If any institution was systemically racist there would be a tsunami of lawsuits filed by racial ambulance chasers like Benjamin Crump, extracting million-dollar penalties for violations of the Civil Rights law and the 14th Amendment to the Constitution. There is no such tsunami because there is no systemic racism.
The war on white people is really a war on America, its creation, and its future. It is a weapon selectively used to demonize Republican politicians who belong to the party of Lincoln and support Martin Luther King’s vision of a color-blind society. This was also the vision of the founders, which is why the words “white” and “black” do not appear in the Constitution.
The anti-white racism that pervades the outlook of the Democrat Party and informs its policies is no more subtle than the anti-black racism of the Ku Klux Klan. But it doesn’t emanate from the fever swamps of America’s backwater regions. It has been manufactured and promoted in the editorial rooms of the New York Times and the boardrooms of the Pulitzer Foundation, the offices of the teacher unions and the faculties of our universities and schools, which makes it far more dangerous.
Here’s two ominous results. We now have a serious problem of recruitment in our military because the Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, General Mark Milley, are anti-white racists who have made the demonization of white America a core element of military training.
Our system of justice is also imperiled by this anti-white racism. We have just appointed an anti-white racist to the U.S. Supreme Court who is such an ideologue that she can’t tell you what a woman is. She has been appointed to a position whose only job is to defend the Constitution but she is a believer in Critical Race Theory which maintains that the Constitution, a document that does not contain the word “white” is a white supremacist contract that should not be respected.
America is not now and never was a racist country. It is true that in the effort to defend slavery, southerners developed a poisonous anti-black ideology that flooded the region with racism. But American slavery itself was not a racist institution. If it were – and America is a white supremacist country – how can you explain the existence of 500,000 black citizens who were free on the eve of the Civil War? You can’t.
Slavery existed in Africa for a thousand years before a white man ever set foot on the continent. Slavery in America was an imported institution. Virtually every black slave shipped to America was enslaved by black Africans and sold to Americans at slave auctions in Ghana and Benin. They were, in turn, freed by historic sacrifices made by mainly white Americans, 360,000 of whom made the ultimate sacrifice to set blacks free.
In all history there is not another case of one race making such sacrifices to free another.
Every nation needs to be proud of its history in order to defend itself. Americans can be proud of ours.
4. Gospel of the Fuhrer
How do I justify the subtitle of my book: The Last Election Could Be the Last? In fact, I finished it too soon to capture the Democrats’latest attempt to cancel our democracy. Mobilize corrupt Soros district attorneys like Alvin Bragg, to smother your political opponent with bogus indictments that could land him in jail or tied up in so many court proceedings that he couldn’t reach his constituents.
But the real threat can only be assessed by gauging the mentality of one’s opponents. For example, how committed are Democrats to the legal system under which we live? Here’s an incident you may be unaware of.
January 2, 2021 happened to be the one-year anniversary of the death of General Qasim Soleimani, whose assassination Trump had ordered. Soleimani was the leading terrorist in the world. He was responsible for thousands of American deaths including every wounded warrior blown up by an I.E.D. that you see on television. The Democrats condemned Trump’s decision to kill Soleimani because he was a “government official.” They said to kill this terrorist-mastermind was “provocative.”
The Iranian regime took a grimmer view. Its dictator Rouhani said that Trump would not only be removed from office – he had already lost the rigged election – but “he would be removed from life. We cannot forgive the killing of Soleimani.”
As you can imagine this threat led to a scrambling of White House security officials, led by the president’s military adviser General Milley. Details of how Milley led these security meetings were provided by two Washington Post reporters who were present.
According to the Post reporters, Milley’s “chief concern” was not the Iranian threat to the American president but remarks Trump had made in tweets that night regarding the 2020 election. Milley described Trump’s Stop the Steal speech as “the Gospel of the Fuhrer.” He told close aides that listening to President Trump was “like reading George Orwell’s 1984. “Lies are truth. Division is unity. Evil is good.” “This is a Reichstag moment” he said.
Milley went on to call Trump’s supporters “the guys we fought in World War II.” “They’re Nazis.” He proposed ringing the Capitol with barbed wire and 25,000 troops – not to keep out the Iranian terrorists, but to keep out the Maga Republicans and their alleged domestic terrorist threat. “We’re going to put a ring of steel around the Capitol,” he said, “and these Nazis aren’t going to get in.” Of course, no threat ever materialized.
Even more disturbing than these ravings by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was their endorsement by American elites. “You know what Milley was doing,” said CNN’s Anderson Cooper, “which you know was obeying the Constitution…. That’s what a patriot does.”
Actually, it would be hard to imagine a clearer form of treason.
In America’s constitutional order, the military is under civilian control, and the president is the commander-in-chief.
Yet Republicans failed to notice or mention this betrayal, and expose the extent of Democrat malice in the process.
Our country is in deep trouble. It can only be saved if actual patriots will step up and answer the call.
Warfare requires deception. The federal government habitually lies to the American people. Consider that an admission that it sees itself at war with those it claims to serve.
You might have noticed that the word "propaganda" has been somewhat retired from polite conversation. Occasionally, some State-allied news corporation will apply the term to a public statement coming from inside Russia, but otherwise, the idea that governments promote falsehoods cloaked as official truths has quietly disappeared.
Instead, ordinary information enjoyed and shared among regular people is now targeted for classification. An alliance of national governments, international institutions, and propaganda engines disguised as disinterested nonprofits has sprung up to toss "unacceptable" thoughts into garbage piles for "mis-," "mal-," and "dis-" information trash bins. As with everything else in modern society, the cult of expertise has even given us "disinformation experts" to decide what knowledge belongs where.
The small coterie of "disinformation experts" recognized and promoted by governments then monitor what the common people are saying among themselves, cast their nets around anything "unacceptable," and stigmatize those words and thoughts as deserving of censorship. Perhaps one day soon there will be academic degrees in "disinformation" or special licenses distinguishing State-approved professionals as qualified to tell the rest of us what is real. As a rule of thumb, if you want to know what kinds of knowledge governments fear their citizens possessing, look to the subjects that require numerous layers of authority validation before access is granted or titles are conferred. Now the knowledge that governments fear their citizens possessing is simply information outside their control.
In this way, officials have flipped the script on propaganda. Rather than the people calling out governments for their lies, governments pre-emptively defame their citizens as liars. How do governments know when their citizens are "lying"? Easy. They just isolate anybody who contradicts publicly announced official truths. Like a puff of smoke vanishing in the wind, government propaganda disappears because anyone who recognizes it as such is guilty of spreading "mis-," "mal-," or "dis-" information.
To find out what is "true," good citizens are expected to respect the authority of government "disinformation specialists" who target what the people say but never what the government promotes. Accordingly, government propaganda flows forcefully yet invisibly because nobody is allowed to call it what it is. The liars have constructed a system in which only they may identify lies.
The question is how long Americans will silently consent to any government dedicated to public deception.
The longer I have been around to witness how small lies can cause tremendous damage, the more convinced I have become that there is no more precious calling than to seek, protect, and spread truth. Finding truth is often (if not always) difficult. Sometimes what we think is true turns out to be false, and we are forced to adjust our understanding of the world accordingly. Even when gold-tinted "truths" prove pyritic, the search for truth remains priceless.
One of the most effective ways of measuring a man's (or government's) character is not to decide whether he is right or wrong about some matter, but rather to determine whether he is committed to pursuing truth or eager to sacrifice it. A virtuous man will adjust his worldview when confronted with conflicting yet convincing evidence; an unethical man will push falsehoods, no matter how irrational or unreasonable.
The truth-seeker understands that the process of pursuing truth is valuable, even when it provides an incomplete understanding of the world. In contrast, those who push falsehoods embrace a lie that incomplete knowledge eliminates the possibility for truth. Honest people see the pursuit of truth as its own reward; dishonest people see its manipulation as a means for scamming honest people. When the government empowers itself to decide what is true and uses that authority to tell flagrant lies, it wages an information war against its citizens.
This war directed against Americans' minds has been raging for quite some time. What is different today is its pace and brazenness. Lies about Russia collusion, COVID, vaccine effectiveness, climate change, Biden family corruption, impartial justice, biological sex, American history, border security, debt sustainability, crime rates, gun safety, banking solvency, military engagements, racial disparities, religious doctrine, Western civilization, childhood development, healthy obesity, government surveillance, hydrocarbon energy, human slavery, acclaimed literature, anthropology — no topic is off limits for those who manipulate the public for a living.
Increasingly, the question is not whether the government is lying, but rather how malicious its intentions are. Did bureaucrats mandate mRNA injections that were neither safe nor effective because they are bad at science? Because they needed an alarming reason to rig the 2020 election with mail-in ballots? As a means of rewarding pharmaceutical companies and the politicians they own with windfall profits? As an opportunity to accelerate the World Economic Forum's "Great Reset"? As a way to condition people to think of property, free speech, and personal liberty as "selfish" and instead submit to the national security surveillance State?
Do extraterrestrial UFO stories confirm that the government has long covered up an important truth, or are they hoaxes meant to distract the public from something else?
Only the "disinformation experts" know.
Government monopolies over "truth" are evil. They elevate "narratives" over news. They protect the politician's spin over facts. They champion the bureaucracy's needs over the public's. They preserve the State's power at the expense of the people's. Whenever governing authorities articulate "official truths," it means the actual truth is being smothered. Whenever governments claim the need to control information, it means that they are losing control over their citizenry. Propaganda and censorship are tools of the weak. They are the last resort of political systems no longer capable of successfully competing in the marketplace for ideas.
There is no kind of government immune from corruption. All eventually tilt toward tyranny. The best we may do to protect ourselves is to construct safeguards against this inevitability. Separation of powers, limited federal authority, diffuse state and local jurisdiction, expansive personal liberties, and effective self-defense all serve to thwart government-sanctioned injustice. Perhaps no more important safeguard exists than a strong cultural commitment to freedom of speech — long a centerpiece of American civic virtue precisely because it serves as an inherent check against State-imposed religion, ideology, and propaganda.
Every one of these counterweights to government corruption recognizes that public officials cannot be trusted. The U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights are predicated on a pessimistic reality that government power attracts cutthroats and liars who must be kept under constant scrutiny, lest their deviant natures be let loose. No matter how principled a nation's founders, criminals will eventually run the government. Written constitutions restraining those criminals' worst impulses represent humanity's best efforts at minimizing the damage.
Government apparatchiks are therefore the absolute last group of people in any society who should be trusted with deciding what is true. Their vested interest in maintaining power distorts their reasoning and their fiendish natures preclude honest observation. In a just society, at least half would be serving time in prison for insider trading, criminal negligence, misappropriation of funds, or dereliction of duty. Instead, we let them print money, sell votes, play with nukes, and lock up their political enemies.
No government at war with its people can long endure. Make no mistake, any government that embraces lies and deploys public deceptions is most definitely at war.

EXPOSING THE DEMOCRAT PARTY RULING CRIME FAMILIES AND THEIR ASSAUILT ON DEMOCRACY
“Protect and enrich.” This is a perfect encapsulation of the Clinton Foundation (TWO GAMER LAWYERS) (WHAT ABOUT THE CHINA BIDEN PENN CENTER?) and the Obama (TWO GAMER LAWYERS) book and television deals. Then there is the Biden family (FOUR GAMER LAWYERS - JOE, HUNTER, JAMES, FRANK) corruption, followed closely behind by similar abuses of power and office by the Warren (GAMER LAWYER) and Sanders families, as Peter Schweizer described in his recent book “Profiles in Corruption.” These names just scratch the surface of government corruption (ADD GAMER LAWYER KAMALA HARRIS AND HER LAWYER HUSBAND AND THE BANKSTERS’ RENT BOY, LAWYER CHUCK SCHUMER AND GEORGE SOROS’ RENT BOY GAMER LAWER TONY BLINKEN AS WELL AS CON MAN ADAM SHIFF).

James Comer: FBI Doc Alleges ‘Business Person from Ukraine’ Sent ‘Substantial Bribe’ to VP Biden
The FBI’s informant file of a $5 million bribery scheme allegedly linked to President Joe Biden concerns the family’s business deals in Ukraine, House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) revealed Monday.
In May, Comer and Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) made bombshell claims after reviewing an FBI FD-1023 form that documented the informant’s allegations of an alleged bribery scheme involving an exchange of money for policy decisions between now-President Joe Biden and a foreign national. Comer disclosed the informant tip is dated June 30, 2020.
“Yes, it is Ukraine,” Comer told The Just the News. “This form 1023 involves a business person from Ukraine, who allegedly sent a bribe, a substantial bribe to then Vice President Joe Biden.”
The Biden family frequently visited Ukraine for its respective business. Then-Vice President Joe Biden served as the Obama administration’s Ukrainian “point person” on U.S. foreign policy. He visited Ukraine six times while serving as vice president.
Hunter Biden joined the board of Ukrainian energy company Burisma in April 2014, two years before Joe Biden stated he forced the firing of Ukraine prosecutor Viktor Shokin, who investigated the company. Joe Biden approved an official statement about Hunter’s Burisma board position, emails show.
Despite Hunter’s lack of experience in Ukraine or the energy sector, he earned $83,000 per month from the energy company or $1 million per year.
While his son was a member of Burisma’s board, Joe Biden threatened towithhold $1 billion from Ukraine if the Ukrainian government did not fire the prosecutor investigating Burisma. In 2017, Hunter’s salary was cut in half when Joe Biden left the White House.
According to former Obama White House stenographer Mike McCormick, Joe Biden allegedly promoted U.S. support for Ukraine’s natural gas industry only days after Hunter Biden joined Burisma’s board.
Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss refuses to allow McCormick to testify before his tax and gun probe into Hunter Biden, McCormick toldNew York Post.
Where did he come from? That question is being increasingly asked in Democrat circles as they watch Robert F. Kennedy Jr. rise in the public’s consciousness just as President Joe Biden tries to ignite his push for a 2024 return to the White House.
The Hill reports the aspiring Democratic Party presidential candidate is doing unexpectedly well in some polls and garnering increasing media attention as a result.
He’s received the backing of as much as 20 percent of Democratic-leaning voters in a handful of recent polls — an unexpected figure for anyone challenging an incumbent president, even more so for one from the same party.
The scion of the Kennedy political dynasty has also been on a press tour this week that included a Twitter Spaces discussion with Elon Musk, a digital town hall with journalist Michael Smerconish and a trip to the the U.S.-Mexico border on Monday night and early Tuesday morning, as Breitbart News reported.

The Hill report sets out some of the Democrat fears, with detractors noting Kennedy Jr. is considered to be “a problematic fringe candidate who freely spreads conspiracy theories.”
Even so his profile as well as his media-ready image as an heir to the famous political dynasty – the 69-year-old is the son of assassinated Senator Robert F. Kennedy and nephew of President John F. Kennedy – have caused some to worry he could gain steam and potentially distract from the task of reelecting Joe Biden in 2024.
“Democrats would be foolish to mock or belittle RFK Jr. Every time we make fun of those who hold fringe positions, we lose,” said Michael Ceraso, a Democratic strategist and former campaign aide to Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. “The Democratic Party acting smug never works.”

The report goes on to note a recent Fox News survey placed Kennedy at 16 percent support among registered voters while a CNN poll released Friday shows him with 20 percent of support among Democratic and Democratic-leaning respondents.
“Take RFK seriously, Biden,” Ceraso said. “If you don’t, we can create a stronger Republican Party that beats us in 2024. Like Bernie did in 2016, RFK has the potential to activate fringe anger if we mock them.”
Kennedy Jr. has never been shy to not only espouse his anti-establishment views and has willingly turned on enemies in his own party who seek to stymie his chances, as Breitbart News reported.
“There is no time in history where the people who were censoring speech were the good guys,” Democratic presidential candidate @RobertKennedyJr told Breitbart News Sunday. https://t.co/TW5H1X1chq
After he declared his candidacy for president as a Democrat, Kennedy slammed the Democrat National Committee (DNC) on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Sunday for having a “rigged” primary system, with no debates and moving voting in South Carolina ahead of New Hampshire on the calendar.
“The DNC, at this point, has taken the official position that there will be no debate, and I think that’s unfortunate… I think what the DNC did to New Hampshire is also unfortunate,” Kennedy Jr. said to the host, Breitbart News Senior Editor-at-Large Joel Pollak, addressing what the DNC is doing to the primary system.

EXCLUSIVE – Sen. Tom Cotton: JCPA Media Cartel Bill Will ‘Sideline Conservative News’
As the Senate Judiciary committee prepares once again to resurrect the Journalism Competition and Preservation Act (JCPA), a bill that would create a cartel of legacy media companies empowered to collude with Silicon Valley, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) is reminding Republicans of the bill’s many flaws.
“Democrats want you to believe this bill would protect ‘journalism,'” said Sen. Cotton in an exclusive comment to Breitbart News.
“What they don’t tell you, of course, is that it would largely benefit left-wing outlets while leaving independent conservative media out in the cold.”

“Republicans shouldn’t fall for this latest attempt to sideline conservative news.”
The JCPA was added to the markup agenda for this week’s meeting of the Senate Judiciary Committee, meaning the Committee is like to vote on an updated version of the bill next week.
The bill aims to transfer wealth from Silicon Valley to the discredited and distrusted corporate legacy media. Beyond the financial payouts, the bill allows media companies to form a “joint negotiating entity”—a cartel, immune from antitrust law—to negotiate with Big Tech companies on the “terms and conditions” for carrying their content.
Legacy media companies already receive billions of dollars in voluntary payments from the tech companies, while their competitors in the independent media are frequently demonetized and suppressed by those same companies simply for discussing controversial topics.
Not only does the bill force even more handouts from Silicon Valley to the legacy media, it also enables even more censorship of their competition.
Sen. Cotton has been one of the staunchest opponents of the JCPA as Democrats and their RINO allies tried repeatedly to pass the bill throughout the 177th Congress. His opposition helped prevent a last-ditch effort by JCPA proponents to attach it to last year’s annual defense spending bill.
“[The JCPA] certainly shouldn’t have been used as the Democrats were trying to use it, as a negotiating chip for ending the COVID vaccine mandate on our troops,” said Sen. Cotton shortly after the NDAA effort failed.
In previous comments to Breitbart News, Sen. Cotton rebutted the media lobby’s argument that this is simply a bill to help small newspapers.
“It would empower anything but small companies, like companies that are reporting on genuine local news — crime, courthouse, school boards, and local sports. It would empower the Big Tech companies and these left-wing outfits that are really just designed to push ideological goals, not to promote news gathering in our communities across the state of Arkansas.”
A Venezuelan national is accused of murdering a migrant woman in El Paso, Texas, just one day after President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released him into the United States.
Eddy Jose Ortega Alvarado, a 34-year-old Venezuelan national, was arrested and charged this week in El Paso for allegedly murdering 40-year-old Carmen Unilda Navas Zuniga of Honduras on May 21 — the day after he was released into the United States interior through Biden’s expansive Catch and Release network.
According to law enforcement, Alvarado and Zuniga crossed the border at the same time on May 20 and were subsequently released into the United States interior. The two ended up in a motel room in downtown El Paso.
The following day, first responders received a request to do a welfare check on Zuniga. After entering her motel room at around 1:30 p.m. they found her unresponsive and she was pronounced dead. Alvarado, police said, had already fled El Paso for the Dallas-Forth Worth, Texas, area.
Police tracked Alvarado down and met with him, finding probable cause that he allegedly murdered Zuniga and then stole her money.
Alvarado is now being held at the Tarrant County Jail on a $2.5 million bail.

NYC Mayor Eric Adams calls for illegal border crossers to be sheltered in private homes
Mayor Eric Adams now wants to start paying every day New Yorkers to shelter migrants in their own homes – as the Big Apple struggles to find beds for the thousands of asylum seekers still flooding into the city.
In his latest attempt to battle the ongoing migrant crisis, Adams on Monday floated a half baked “private residence” plan, which could possibly see local homeowners getting compensation to put up asylum seekers.
Hizzoner put forward the proposal as he revealed religious leaders had agreed to start housing adult male migrants overnight at 50 places of worship scattered across the five boroughs next month.
“There are residents who are suffering right now because of economic challenges. They have spare rooms. They have locales,” the mayor said, arguing his private residence proposal could put money back in the pockets of taxpayers.
He sounds like he thinks this was a one-off natural disaster. Actually, this is an extended problem which he's failed to solve because he refuses to solve it.
Instead of demanding that Joe Biden enforce the border, end catch-and-release, and put a stop to abuse of U.S. asylum laws, he's happy to be left holding the bag for Joe Biden's open borders; forced to house and feed the invaders with no perceivable benefit to his city.
Already he's spent $4.3 billion on them -- and all he's got is more migrants.
Instead of demanding that New York's city council drop its absurdly generous "right to shelter" law, he's now asking New York's taxpayers to take care of the problem in their homes, as if resolving the housing problem this way wouldn't encourage more illegal migrants to come to New York City, which it will.
He's tried many workarounds around this problem of tens of thousands of migrants flooding his city with their hands out -- from shipping the migrants to other cities in New York state, to calling for more federal funding to compensate the city for its self-imposed "right to shelter" free housing for illegally present foreigners; to housing the migrants in five-star hotels (which has battered the tax base); to moving the migrants to warehouse dockyard housing; to moving the migrants into public school space for housing -- and not once does he imagine that maybe this willingness to be the patsy for Irresponsible Joe and the clowns on the New York city council is the actual root of the problem.
Nor does he propose to ask the migrants to pay for their own housing, which is what everyone else does who travels to a foreign country. The migrants currently in New York have already demonstrated that they have plenty of money in the products they purchase, while studies have shown that the people who migrate for economic reasons are typically members of their countries' lower middle class, rather than the poorest people.
Now he's proposing to drop the problem onto the laps of New Yorkers themselves, on the grounds that many have spare bedrooms in their homes to house strangers.
And stranger is right. By their very nature, illegal immigrants are unvetted foreigners. We've already seen that some are flash mob criminals, raiding Macys on one of their excursions.
We'e also seen how they treat New York's five-star hotel rooms, trashing them like rock stars, apparently valuing the rooms for about as much as they paid for them.
Sure, some of the migrants may be ethical and industrious immigrants whose asylum claims are valid. But it's obvious that many are not. They are products of the slums of places such as Caracas and San Pedro Sula, with full underclass values.
Which would probably present quite a risky deal for New Yorkers who might take Adams up on his offer to house the migrants for the city.
Will they be on their own if their homes get robbed by the migrants? Will the city pay for property damage brought on by migrants bringing propane stoves in the bedrooms and other fire-hazard activity that's already been seen in the five-star hotel rooms? What happens if the migrants turn the homes into a trash heap and refuse to clean up after themselves? What happens if the stipend paid by the city is not enough to cover the damage?
Given the entitlement mentality seen in some of the migrants such as the Venezuelans who recently demanded free permanent housing in New York, it could get even riskier than monetary damage. What happens when the migrants refuse to leave the private homes, and insist on staying permanently? What happens if the migrants demand squatting rights on the private homes, knowing that the laws and the prosecutors will protect them?
Just the example of parents of public school students protesting Adams' use of public school gymnasiums to house migrants pretty well tells us what the public response is likely to be to this proposal by Adams.
Many observers, on Twitter and even at the New York Post, have asked Adams if he's got some spare bedrooms at Gracie Mansion to start.
In other words, You First.
That won't happen, and this plan to house the migrants in private homes probably won't be met with open arms either.
What Adams needs to do is take a good look at the problem, which isn't housing, it's federal and local policy. New York City evolved the way it did because of market forces, buttress by rule of law. Migrants and their government enablers know no law, nor do they pay attention to market forces. That leaves Adams with the problem. Maybe he should wake up.
According to internal documents reviewed by Vice, the Department of Homeland Security in 2018 sought to develop a method for assigning “risk scores” to social media users, in a program to identify “disinformation” efforts named “Night Fury” by the DHS.
The DHS worked with the University of Alabama to develop the “Night Fury” system, the concept of which bears a striking resemblance to the Chinese “social credit” scores assigned to citizens to measure their compliance with the regime.
Vice began its investigation in order to learn more about Custom and Border Protection (CBP)’s efforts to learn more about arrivals at the border, but seem to have stumbled across a key part of the government’s sprawling social media censorship machine in the process.
“The Contractor shall develop these attributes to create a methodology for developing a ranking, or ‘Risk Score,’ associated with the identified accounts. The Contractor shall develop tools to automate the identification process, documenting performance measures and metrics related to automating the identification process,” one of the documents reads. DHS said it stopped work on the project in 2019.
The news signals DHS’ continued focus on analyzing social media for a variety of purposes. These new documents come after Motherboard reported Customs and Border Protection (CBP) was using an AI-powered tool called Babel X to analyze travelers’ social media at the U.S. border.
According to the documents reviewed by Vice, the DHS ceased the program in 2019. But elsewhere, the government’s efforts to address “disinformation” on social media — a priority that only rose to the fore after the election of Donald Trump — proliferated.
By the 2020 election, a vast network of censors had sprung up, encompassing deep state agencies, NGOs, academics, journalists, and the silicon valley tech giants themselves. This “censorship-industrial complex” virtually erased any semblance of free speech on social media during the 2020 election and beyond.
The Biden Administration is intervening to prevent the release of documents revealing the extent to which deep state actors and their third party allies interfered in the 2020 presidential election by pushing social media censorship.
Journalist Lee Fang has obtained emails showing lawyers from the Justice Department corresponding with Kate Starbird, who led the University of Washington’s Center for an Informed Public, one of the four organizations that made up the EIP.
In the emails, the Justice Department asks which CISA documents have been subject to public records requests, so they can determine whether to block their release.
“We’ve heard from the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency (CISA) within the Department of Homeland Security that the Daily Caller News Foundation has requested documents from the university, which may include documents that belong to CISA,” wrote Assistant U.S. Attorney Annalisa Cravens of the Western District of Washington in an email to Kate Starbird, a computer science professor at the University of Washington (UW).
“Could we please see a copy of any relevant CISA documents that you may plan to produce?” Cravens, the assistant U.S. attorney, wrote in her email to Starbird. “[W]e would also ask to have an extension of time before the records are produced so that we can have time to review them and assess whether we’ll have to file suit to protect them from disclosure.”
Faced with multiplelawsuits, as well as the Twitter Files, the full picture of the federal government’s obsession with censoring social media platforms after the election of Donald Trump in 2016 has emerged. All that remains is for the lawsuits to run their course
