The Impeachment Sham
The Senate is beginning another impeachment trial of President Trump this week. It is a complete waste of time. After 45 senators voted to declare the impeachment trial of a private citizen unconstitutional, the odds of conviction are virtually zero.
The purpose of this sham trial is simply to smear Donald Trump and make it impossible for him to run again. Liberals are hoping to demoralize millions of his 74 million supporters. The left has been involved in a non-stop effort that accelerated on January 6th to do exactly that.
Since President Trump has been silenced by our leftist social media giants, I want to speak out for him and point out that almost everything he is being accused of is not only untrue, but the left is itself guilty of those very charges. For example:
Progressives are accusing Trump of inciting violence. He did not. He encouraged his supporters to march and protest peacefully.
There has been plenty of violence over the last four years, and most of it came from the political left. The summer riots were stoked in part by the rhetoric of the left. Government buildings were attacked by leftists, and liberal politicians tried to stop Trump from sending federal law enforcement agents to protect them. Antifa was marching through Washington, D.C., this weekend threatening to "burn it down," even though Donald Trump is gone.
When left-wing protesters tore down historical monuments, Speaker Pelosi shrugged and practically defended them, saying, "People will do what they do."
The left accused Trump of promoting conspiracy theories. Well, the left promoted the debunked Russian collusion conspiracy theory for four years. They falsely accused Trump of using the Post Office to stop mail-in votes. They accused him of trying to reverse the results of the election. That's what the left has been doing ever since November of 2016!
Unable to directly prove collusion, many on the left claimed that Russia interfered in the 2016 election in a meaningful way because they bought some ads on social media. But communist China actually did interfere in the 2020 election in a meaningful way. And when the intelligence community wanted to point it out, leftists entrenched in the Deep State blocked the report.
One final point. Liberals are claiming that under Donald Trump, America lost the moral high ground. To the contrary, Trump kept his promises and did exactly what he said he would do.
He took serious steps to secure the border. He moved the U.S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem. He crushed ISIS, and confronted communist China, Iran and Russia.
It is the left that is attempting to knock America off the moral high ground by claiming our country was founded on racism and genocide. Just last week, Joe Biden said that we have never lived up to our promise.

Disrespecting America
All of President Biden's executive orders have been problematic to varying degrees. (See below.) But why would a so-called "moderate" insist on immediately abolishing a commission that holds up America as a shining city upon a hill? Why would the 1776 Commission be offensive to a moderate?
Well, no one should be surprised by Biden's action because he isn't a moderate. He wouldn't condemn the attacks on our historic monuments and national heroes. You may recall that Speaker Nancy Pelosi actually defended the attacks, saying, "People will do what they do."
If you're on the left, there is a list of things you absolutely cannot do. For example:
You cannot secure the border.
You cannot in any way condemn the cancel culture, which is trying to smear and silence conservatives.
You cannot be pro-life.
You cannot defend the American experiment, and you dare not say that this was a noble and decent country from the beginning.
You dare not remind people that slavery was a universal evil, the sad norm throughout human history, and that it was the words of our founding fathers that signaled the death knell of slavery.
Telling the truth about America is what Donald Trump meant when he said, "Make America Great Again," and liberals rushed to condemn him.
And just as President Trump warned, we went in short order from banning the Confederate flag to disrespecting the American flag. We went from tearing down statues of Robert E. Lee to tearing down statues of Abraham Lincoln.
The unifying theme of the left seems to be hatred of America. By Gary Bauer

What Unity?
Every inaugural address is filled with soaring rhetoric and phrases. Some are certainly more lasting than others.
Yesterday, if you believe the media, Joe Biden delivered "one of the best inaugural addresses ever." But there were two things in his remarks yesterday that stood out to me and that I want to address here.
Biden spoke a lot about unity and insisted that he will be "the president of all the people," even those who didn't vote for him. While that's technically true, what does he really mean by that? As the old adage goes, actions speak louder than words.
The unity Biden kept talking about lasted only as long as his speech. As soon as he entered the Oval Office, he promptly signed more than a dozen executive orders and every one was a finger in the eye of conservatives.
Biden will operationally be the president of those who elected him. He will be the president of abortion on demand, and he will demand that all Americans, including you, subsidize it.
Biden will operationally be the president of those who support open borders, illegal immigration and sanctuary cities, as well as those who want to choose alternative pronouns for themselves.
He is allowing immigration from countries that are known hotbeds of terrorism, countries like Iran, Sudan, Syria and North Korea. That's insane.
He abolished President Trump's 1776 Commission because it was trying to teach young Americans that their country isn't evil. That speaks volumes.
Where is the comfort in telling people that he is going to be the president of those who didn't vote for him when he has devoted his presidency to relentlessly attacking their values?
It would be one thing for a genuine moderate to make such a statement while actually pursuing common ground. Biden isn't doing that. He is pushing a radical agenda, and his statement is more like rubbing salt into a wound. It's for appearances only. By Gary Bauer
