The American people must repudiate an American fascist
PLUS: The carnival of stupidity around the House impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas
I’m sitting on the banks of the Vltava River in Prague, also known as the “City of 100 Spires.” As I take in this magnificent city, I am thinking about where appeasement and delusion lead.
It leads here:
These were the steps that led down into gas chamber number 2 at Auschwitz:
This is where the Führer’s twisted vision led.
This is the abyss. Hundreds of thousands of human beings walked down these steps and became ash. There were four gigantic facilities like this at Birkenau that contained three compartments: the undressing chamber, the gas chamber and the ovens.
The evidence that the lessons from this madness have been forgotten within the human lifespan of survivors of this place is the simple fact that the US Congress is allowing history to repeat itself by cutting off Ukraine from the weapons it needs to stave off annihilation.
Hitler’s propagandists were ignored and dismissed — just like Vladimir Putin’s are today in the west. Both men attracted a legion of American admirers, collaborators, useful idiots and dupes, willing to pedal their lies and insanity.
Vladimir Putin told Tucker Carlson what is coming. He justified the war ahead using the same rationale that Adolf Hitler used. This reality is not lost on people in Eastern Europe. Russia is close to Warsaw, Berlin, Prague, and hundreds of other places that are beautiful, prosperous and free. The danger at hand is much closer there, but only a fool believes that America is insulated from it.
The most important ideas in world history that have advanced the dignity and happiness of human life are under direct threat by a new fascism that is as dangerous as the last incarnation. As in the past, it has found its way to America. We must root it out before it is too late.
Donald Trump is a fascist. We must face this reality.
The 2024 election should be about the future, but sometimes, as The Rolling Stones remind us, “You can’t always get what you want.”
What the world needs to see is the American people repudiate an American fascist. When we do, the whole world will breathe easier.
The United States of America is the standard bearer of global freedom. The instant this isn’t true, freedom will fade to black, and the abyss will be at hand again.
The kabuki theater around the House impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas
This week, the House is expected to file articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. I spoke with Scripps News to explain the difference between an immigration crisis at the southern border and the carnival of stupidity of a groundless impeachment trial:
I agree with every word here, Steve.
I am very concerned about Biden’s ability to win. This is based upon what is occurring with food and necessity pricing. Every single person I talk to is absolutely fed up with getting gouged and feels helpless about it. There is a sense that Biden is doing nothing about it.
Trump will not do anything about it, either, but the “discontent register” is terribly rough on the incumbent. It is a huge concern I have and it may ultimately be the deciding factor this year — Trump’s issues notwithstanding.
What the world needs to see is the American people repudiate an American fascist. When we do, the whole world will breathe easier.
Then why exactly is Merrick Garland left in his role as Attorney General? He is hardly General material. Do Generals take orders from the Commander In Chief or DC publicists? There is no Blue Line inserted into the American fabric if it cannot hold water to the Rule of Law and Justice for all.
