THE BIDEN JUSTICE DEPARTMENT’S LAWLESS THREAT AGAINST AMERICAN PARENTS
Even as President Biden shrugged his shoulders over progressives’ harassment and intimidation of a sitting United States senator of his own party — a crime under Arizona law — Biden’s Justice Department was running roughshod over the First Amendment, threatening to investigate and prosecute parents for protesting against school boards and teachers who insist on indoctrinating children with the cultural Marxism beloved by Democrats.
On Monday (10/04), Attorney General Merrick Garland issued a memorandum in which he wailed about the “disturbing spike in harassment, intimidation, and threats of violence against school administrators, board members, teachers, and staff.”
Garland knows this is dangerous nonsense. I personally know that he knows it.
FASCIST JOE’S FBI GESTAPO
His Fraudulency Joe Biden’s attorney general has just announced that the FBI will be engaged to terrorize parents who oppose left-wing school board policies.
All around the country, parents have been speaking out and protesting against several absurd and destructive school board policies that have been put in place to damage, sexualize, and indoctrinate innocent children.
Tragically, too many of the government-run schools in this country have become breeding grounds for mentally ill educators desperate to force their warped political agendas and neuroses on our children.
And now that parents have had enough, Fascist Joe is now unleashing his FBI Brownshirts on parents who have the audacity to want a say in how their child is educated.
THE EGOMANIACAL EVIL CONTROLLING A DEMENTED PRESIDENT
Edith Wilson Edith Wilson Wannabe
Many Biden watchers have long observed Jill Biden’s grasping obsession with becoming the First Lady. Throughout the campaign as Joe Biden’s failing mental abilities became more and more obvious, did she love him enough to end it? Oh no, not Jill. She continued on with her elder abuse.
One explanation may be her long fascination with Edith Wilson – exemplified by dedicating her 2019 autobiography Where the Light Enters to: “The inspiring, groundbreaking First Lady Edith Wilson.”
She admired and apparently coveted the role that Mrs. Wilson filled after President Woodrow had a stroke in October 1919. Edith Wilson hid the seriousness of her husband’s condition and took over the job of running the country until the end of his term in March 1921. Now it’s Jill’s turn.
KEEPING YOUR SANITY WITH A SENSE OF AWE
After my workout this morning, I stopped at the cliffs above Capitola, overlooking the Monterey Bay. It had just rained lightly, so the air was crystal clear, and the brownish gold of the kelp beds at low tide made a vivid contrast with the blue gray ocean. The little bit of sun that peeked through the clouds lit a meandering path across the water and through the center of the wharf.
I stop on these cliffs almost every morning, because it gives me something I need - something we all need, a fundamental requirement for our happiness and well-being actually… and something that is all too easy to be oblivious to in these days of iphones, kindles, and reliably traumatic 24 hour news cycles.
A sense of awe.
A BLIGHT ON AMERICA, A BLIGHT ON THE CIVILIZED WORLD
Yesterday (9/10), Mr. Biden delivered the most insulting, contemptuous, and divisive speech by a president in U.S. history.
As Biden crudely lectured and indicted the unvaxxed, he is importing hundreds of thousands of unvetted, unvaccinated, untested migrants from all over the world at the southern border and now from Afghanistan as well. What gives?
Is he importing a replacement population by design while trying to kill off those of us who are native-born Americans with vaccines that not only do not work, but for many have dire side-effects such as death, injury, and illness. Could this all be part of the globalists' Great Reset? Probably. It all feels like part of someone's grand plan.
LARRY ELDER AND THE MYSTERY OF CALIFORNIA
I motored up to Larry Elder’s house last Sunday (9/05) for a visit – he needed a break if only for an hour or two.
He was just getting off a Zoom press conference when I arrived and soon he’d be off to yet another conference in his quest to upend Gavin Newsom and become governor of California. The recall election, as you know, is next Tuesday (9/14).
So we talked about what I call the Mystery of California. How, given the atrocious condition of the state of California and the city of Los Angeles, where I lived for fifty years and he still does, would any sane person not want to try to a new approach to government and a new governor?
That’s the mystery. How did the most beautiful piece of real estate arguably in the entire globe turn into—let’s be blunt—a rubbish heap?

At long last, the deadly reign of Anthony Fauci will come to an end.
That’s because yesterday (9/07) The Intercept, a hard-left publication, released (thanks to its FOIA lawsuit) 900 pages of government documents definitively proving that Fauci used his position to fund gain-of-function research into bat viruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (“WIV”)—and then lied to Congress about it.
Here are the lessons to be learned from the fascist fraud of Fauci.
MEDIOCRITY REIGNS
The Russian evolutionary anthropologist Peter Turchin coined the term “elite overproduction,” better understood as an overproduction of people who see themselves as potential elites, despite being mediocrities.
Take Jake Sullivan, the United States National Security Advisor to President Joe Biden. This guy is the primary architect of the plan to leave Afghanistan. A quick look at his résumé shows that he is laughably unqualified for the position. He is an overeducated idiot who is sure he is the smartest man in every room, despite being one of the dumbest men in every room.
How did a vacuous airhead like Jake Sullivan get into this position?
ICE CREAM JOE’S CULTURE OF DEATH
Ice Cream Joe, virtually all Democrats, and their accomplices in mainstream media are now up-in-arms because the split U.S. Supreme Court—on a 5-4 ruling—refused to “block” the Texas law from going into effect.
They love parroting the line that restricting the right to murder the unborn in Texas “will disproportionately disadvantage black women who have most abortion in the state,” while failing to acknowledge the obvious corollary that SB8 will be a huge advantage to unborn black babies who now will have a real opportunity to experience the wonder of life rather than be sacrificed to Joe Biden’s culture of death.
As Pastor Jack Graham of Dallas’ Prestonwood Baptist Church observes, with the Texas Heartbeat Law, “We’re going to turn America from a culture of death into a culture of life.”
HOW DID THE PENTAGON BECOME MENTALLY ILL?
The fall of Kabul is not the end, as Joe Biden seems to think, of the Afghanistan nightmare.
It is the beginning of a never-ending bad dream. Biden and the Pentagon have managed to birth a new terrorist haven, destroy much of U.S. strategic deterrence, and alienate our allies and much of the country.
Something is terribly wrong in the ranks of America’s top commanders that reflects something wrong with the country.

Our hapless president's speech yesterday (Tuesday 8/31) was not a speech at all. It was a full-blown childish tantrum.
While he was ostensibly celebrating his massive "airlift" of thousands of mostly Afghan refugees, from the beginning, it was clear he is extremely angry. He almost shouted his claim that his catastrophic misadventure in Afghanistan has been a “historical” achievement. This is a huge lie, and everyone knows it, even those trying to spin this debacle as a win.
The man is a pathological liar without heart and soul. As the months of his administration slip by, it becomes clearer and clearer that he is a sociopath.
HEY, BIDEN VOTERS!!
Damn you all. You’re American citizens, with the right to vote in presidential elections. You’re grownups with no excuse.
For four years, we had a president who revived America’s economy (especially for minorities), shored up Americans’ individual liberties, forged several remarkable peace agreements, and greatly strengthened our international position—thus firmly checking the ambitions of our powerful adversaries.
But now, thanks to you -- yes, you Biden voter, look in the mirror! — that’s all thrown in the ashcan. As a result, America has reached perhaps the lowest point in its history, and lower ones will soon be coming.
So my question: are you going to come to your senses or not?
THE CHAIRMAN OF JOINT CHIEFS AND THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE MUST RESIGN
[Yesterday, August 30, 87 retired Generals and Admirals signed the Open Letter below stating their reasons why Chairman of Joint Chiefs (CJCS) Mark Milley and Secretary of Defense (SecDef) Lloyd Austin must resign.]
The retired Flag Officers signing this letter are calling for the resignation and retirement of the Secretary of Defense (SECDEF) and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS) based on negligence in performing their duties primarily involving events surrounding the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan.
The consequences of this disaster are enormous and will reverberate for decades beginning with the safety of Americans and Afghans who are unable to move safely to evacuation points; therefore, being de facto hostages of the Taliban at this time.
The death and torture of Afghans has already begun and will result in a human tragedy of major proportions. The loss of billions of dollars in advanced military equipment and supplies falling into the hands of our enemies is catastrophic. The damage to the reputation of the United States is indescribable.
PRETENDING COVID IS AN EMERGENCY IS KILLING AMERICA
The entire Western world – from New Zealand and Australia to all of Europe and North America – is living a massive COVID lie. That lie is strangling the life out of liberty, and it will destroy our American constitutional order if we do not end this horrifying charade.
But cut through it all and ask — how many Americans are dying? According to Johns Hopkins, the fatality rate of COVID in the United States is 1.7 percent, which means that 98.3 percent survive. That takes into account all deaths, including people who had underlying conditions and the elderly. Excluding those who are obviously high-risk, the survival rate is close to 100 percent.
If COVID ever were an emergency, it is no longer one now, and it has not been for a long time. There is no justification for the continued suspension of the American form of self-government that secures all our individual rights and liberties.

BIDEN’S BROWN THUMB
To say of someone they “have a green thumb” is to note everything in their garden grows and blossoms. Joe Biden’s thumb is not green – it is brown. Everything he has touched since entering office has turned to feces.
None of his blame-gaming, none of his distortions, none of his fantasies and unreality can mask that truth. Everything from the Afghan Catastrophe, to the Inflation Fiasco, the Border Disaster, to Energy Insufficiency, the Race Calamity, to the Crime Explosion – there are several proposed explanation of his fecal touch.
MY SON THE MARINE
Before my son became a Marine, I never thought much about who was defending me. Now when I see a picture of a member of our military who has been killed, I read his or her name very carefully. Sometimes I cry.
In 1999, when the barrel-chested Marine recruiter showed up in dress blues and bedazzled my son John, I did not stand in the way. John was headstrong, and he seemed to understand these stern, clean men with straight backs and flawless uniforms. I did not. I live in the Volvo-driving, higher education-worshiping North Shore of Boston. I write novels for a living. I have never served in the military.

As the Afghan Fubar continues to worsen, here’s something to consider. We’ve done this three times since 1975, all to horrific results for those who were left. What is the singular constant of those last 46 years?
Joe Biden was somewhere in the decision tree.
First as a US Senator from Delaware, who along with his senate majority refused to fund military support to the South Vietnamese.
Second came in orchestrating the withdrawal from Iraq in 2011 as O’Bama’s VP. That withdrawal gave us ISIS.
Final withdrawal is from Afghanistan, which is still underway.

IN A SANE WORLD THEY ALL WOULD RESIGN
The American-nurtured Afghan military of the last 20 years that had suffered thousands of prior casualties evaporated in a few hours in the encirclement of Kabul.
Enlistees apparently calculated that their own meager chances with the premodern Taliban were still better than fighting as a dependency of the postmodern United States—despite its deterrent embassy pride flags, powerful diversity training programs, and indomitable new Afghan University gender studies majors.
Forces more powerful than the Taliban, in places far more strategic, will now leverage a cognitively challenged American president, an ideologically driven but predictably incompetent administration, a woke Pentagon, and politically weaponized intelligence communities.

As Taliban forces consolidate their control of Kabul, the nature of the new regime remains somewhat veiled. One thing, however, is clear: The Taliban hold the lives of thousands of U.S. citizens—and the future of the Biden administration—in their hands.
Mr. Biden vowed that his Afghan withdrawal would not lead to a Saigon moment. That ship has sailed, but Saigon 1975 is far from the worst-case scenario for Afghanistan today. With thousands of unprotected U.S. citizens scattered across the country, Mr. Biden should worry about a repeat of Tehran in 1979 – on steroids.
BIDEN’S AFGHANISTAN DEBACLE WAS INTENTIONAL
During his speech Monday (8/16) Joe Biden angrily blamed everyone else for the collapse in Afghanistan, including his predecessor, President Donald Trump, saying that he had to comply with the deal Trump had worked out.

It turns out that this is what he wanted all along. This is not Joe Biden Incompetent – this is Joe Biden Evil.

The Iraqi stooge became the stuff of late-night comedy a generation ago. Biden has doomed himself to be the master of disaster for a new generation.
After years of missteps and overreach, the US under Donald Trump had finally reached an acceptable outcome in Afghanistan. Now this fake president has thrown it away to America’s complete humiliation and the horror of millions of Afghans.
THE EMBARRASSMENT OF BIDEN
Although the White House had intended to keep Biden under wraps for as long as possible, the demand that he say something — anything — about the unfolding debacle in Afghanistan forced him to leave Camp David for a 20-minute statement, after which he refused to take any questions.
The important part of what he said boils down to one sentence: we had to leave, and everything that went wrong was Trump's or the Afghans' fault.
Biden is a craven coward, a feckless fool, a dismal dummy, and a man who will soon have more blood on his hands than a thousand Lady Macbeths.

PROTECTIVE RESUMPTION – HOW STATES CAN RESTORE OUR CONSTITUTIONAL FREEDOMS
The COVID pandemic has witnessed the exercise of state “police powers” on a scale and scope unprecedented in America’s peacetime history.
Out of fear of contagion, massive amounts of private property in the form of shops, restaurants, bars, and other businesses were peremptorily seized and shuttered. The rights of landlords to collect rents and evict tenants were suspended. The ability of people to cross from one state to another was hobbled by regulations, quarantines, and delays.
The purpose here is to point out what such robust assertions of police powers could achieve, constitutionally and politically, if put to different and more legitimate ends—protecting Americans’ health and safety against what predictably ensues when the federal government abandons one of its primary charges.
We propose calling this the Doctrine of Protective Resumption.

HOW COMMUNIST CHINA SUPPORTS COMMUNIST CUBA

Protesters used social media to broadcast to the world what was happening, but the communist regime shut off the internet and telephone services, pulling the plug on their connection outside the island.
The key to the regime’s ability to do so was China. One example of many how Communist China supports Communist Cuba.

NULLIFYING NUREMBERG
[The HFR of July 23 explained how Xiden and leaders of other countries are committing Crimes Against Humanity with their vax mandates:
“Due to the horrific experimentation on Auschwitz prisoners by Nazi doctors such as Josef Mengele… it is has long been considered by international legal consensus a ‘Crime Against Humanity’ to force people against their will to take an experimental drug – which all Covid vaccines are.”
Here, TTP reader Pennel Bird provides a valuable further explication of why so many government leaders and officials are criminals violating international law.]
Dr. Josef Mengele is one of the true monsters of history. The cruelty and depravity of Mengele and others, including Adolf Eichmann, shocked the world, were almost beyond reckoning, and subsequently inspired the establishment of the Nuremberg Code — which was tacitly endorsed by nearly every nation on earth.
The ten points of the Nuremberg Code for human experimentation are as follows:
WHY I REFUSE TO BE VACCINATED
I have been vilified for refusing to be jabbed with an experimental vaccine.
I have been told that I am among the worst people on the face of the earth as that refusal is putting an inordinate number of people at risk of near-certain death. That it is my civic duty and obligation to be swept up in the hysteria and march meekly in lockstep with whatever the omniscient government bureaucrats tell us to do.
It is not and here is why.
WHY THE LEFT IS DESPERATE FOR THE COVID PANIC TO CONTINUE
All of Europe is rebelling against covid fascism – when will America?
The new mask mandates, the fearmongering over this or that variant, are all of a piece: the Left must cheat to win and they know cheating is their only way to victory.
As evidence mounts that the vaccines do not work, that the antibodies do not last, that they are creating the variants as the virus seeks survival around the vaccines (that's what viruses do), the Left is doubling down on the failed restrictions it implemented to destroy a booming economy and steal an election.
