THEY’RE NOT SENDING THEIR BEST FOR THE #RESISTANCE:

EVERY COMMUNIST COUNTRY IS A SLAVEHOLDING STATE:

JOEL KOTKIN: Slouching Toward Gavin Newsom. “Newsom is also audaciously recasting himself as a working-class hero. He has said he spent his childhood ‘hustling’ and that he ‘raised himself.’ That rather downplays his rise as a protégé of the Getty family, which employed his father as its lawyer. In 1991, a young Newsom was photographed with the Getty children as part of a newspaper story titled ‘The Children of the Rich.’ It’s unlikely that the San Francisco elite, who have financed his ruse, are fooled; nor is anyone else for that matter. Yet the act goes on, without a hint of shame.”

THE THING IS, LEFTISTS LIKE ECONOMIC STAGNATION BECAUSE IT ENHANCES GOVERNMENT CONTROL OVER THE GOODIES:

JOHN LUCAS: The Insurrectionist Democrats Endanger the Troops with Their Incompetent and Dangerous Legal Advice.

Many Democrats and their media allies have tried to scare service members into submission by threatening to prosecute them for war crimes when the Dems regain the power they crave, if they obey orders of which the Dem disapprove.

Democratic members of the Senate judiciary committee sent a letter to Attorney General Bondi claiming that those participating in military strikes against drug trafficking boats in the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean may be guilty of “premeditated murder.” CNN echoed that, with threatening allusions to the Nuremberg war crimes trials. . . .

The Gang of 6’s carefully choreographed video builds on those threats, especially with their emphasis to service members that, “You MUST refuse!” and “Right now!”

But with their over-simplistic legal advice about disobeying orders, these esteemed public servants put well-intentioned service members at great risk. And they doubtlessly know of the risk they are inducing. But they are willing to sacrifice some pawns if they can bring down the king.

They’re actually creating an environment in which members of the military will need to ensure that Democrats never return to power.
