In this episode of American Thought Leaders, Jan Jekielek sat down with classicist and historian Victor Davis Hanson to discuss the rise of critical social justice and woke ideology, growing limits on freedom of speech, and his take on the second impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump.

“It’s like a public-shaming like the Communist Party used to make people wear dunce caps,” Hanson says.

Interestingly Politico is picking up on a fear amid the GOPe (establishment) that President Trump will likely not only survive the second insufferable impeachment effort, but he is likely to exit stronger than ever…. and that means retaliation against the DeceptiCon class of republicans.

This is the blind spot of the UniParty, their inability to see that smart Americans have identified their motives and are prepared to destroy them.

This is the aspect CTH warned about the day after the November election.  The GOPe is so fraught with elitist perspectives, it continues to assemble as a hopeless echo-chamber,  and they never see what is happening at the grassroots level in Middle-America.

(Via Politico) […] Not even Trump’s closest allies can believe the turn in fortunes. “He’s Teflon, right. It’s been a month since the Capitol riot and I would say, for the most part, the GOP has coalesced back behind him,” said a former Trump campaign official.

[…] Already, Trump aides contend, the impeachment process has proved beneficial to the ex-president — exposing disloyalty within the party’s ranks and igniting grassroots backlash against Republicans who have attempted to nudge the GOP base away from Trump.

Nebraska Sen. Ben Sasse spent last week fending off constituent criticisms and censures from state party officials after he compared Trumpism to “a civic cancer for the nation.” And Trump’s allies believe the ex-president’s impending impeachment trial will further illuminate who the turncoats are.

Former acting Director of National Intelligence, Richard “Ric” Grenell, appears on NewsMax to discuss the current status of JoeBama and DC’s effort to cancel the Trump administration.

Grenell first talks of the refusal to provide classified intelligence briefings to the former president as it is traditionally handled.  Grenell also notes the overall goal of the leftists behind JoeBama is to completely cancel the prior president.  WATCH:

The sheer audacity of James Clapper in this segment is jaw-dropping.

After the former ODNI participated in weaponization of the entire intelligence apparatus specifically to target Donald Trump as a candidate and President, James Clapper now says that JoeBama should not give President Trump classified information because he “has used it to attack political enemies” in the past. WATCH:

CONTEXT – Keep in mind that James Clapper was an active, albeit rather stupid, participant in the targeting of Lt. General Michael Flynn.  It was Clapper who asked FBI Director James Comey on January 4th for the raw “CR Cuts” of Flynn’s conversation with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak.  Clapper then took those raw transcript segments into the oval office to brief President Obama.  [Full Backstory Below]

When Clapper walked into the Oval Office with those transcripts January 4, 2017, he destroyed any opportunity for the Obama White House to say they did not know there was an FBI investigation of incoming National Security Advisor Michael Flynn.  However, the media ignored the evidence of the Obama lies when the truth finally surfaced, May 2020.

In this important interview former Senior White House Economic and Trade Advisor, Peter Navarro, discusses how the Bill Barr DOJ prepared advanced review for an incoming Joe Biden administration and supported the creation of a blitz of executive orders.

However, stand back a few more feet from the picture that Navarro describes and you start to see something CTH has discussed for several years (people didn’t want to admit).  It is the DOJ as an institution that is working against the interests of the United States.  The institution is filled with Lawfare allies and aligned ideological interests.  First, WATCH:

.

Take away the bigger big-picture.  The people inside the Department of Justice, most of them installed during the Obama-Holder-Lynch administration, are entrenched ideologues.  It did not matter who the Attorney General was.  The gears inside the machine were disconnected from the person who held the controls.

Why is this acceptance important in historic reference and moving forward?

CTH Admin Stella reminded me of an article written in May of 2013 when CTH was urgently, desperately, trying to awaken more people to see the natural conclusion to the events unfolding.  Events we were directly challenging.

At the time George Zimmerman was under attack; then came Ferguson (Wilson -vs- Mike Brown); then Baltimore (Freddie Gray -vs- Baltimore Six); but the natural alignment… the purpose of the events… was a leftist probe into weaponized narrative engineering in order to advance completely false and fabricated stories.  The U.S. media were testing whether they could control the outlook of Americans.

The shift in attack direction from media at the time was alarming. No longer was the media trying to excuse the transparently guilty of accountability; starting in 2012 what the new-era attack angle started to do was falsely accuse the transparently innocent.

Read that again, because it was a profound difference; and inflection point.

Leftists in politics and media were probing their ability to engineer entirely false positions and assertions of facts. This was new because they were now aligning to target the innocent. In 2013 CTH was trying to warn; to tell the story of where this was going to end up.  The clarion call has a similar resonance today, albeit with an increased urgency.

Mike Lindell (the MyPillow guy) has produced a video documentary highlighting the 2020 election and some of the evidence he finds troubling.  The first hour might be familiar to many, but the second hour contains details not presented before.  WATCH:

There is over a decade of deep research on Tom Donohue and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce within this website.  It was Donohue who originated the cabal assembly we define as “DeceptiCons”.  The U.S. CoC has been the biggest lobbyist spender in Washington DC since globalism and support for Wall Street took priority.

Immediately after they admitted the U.S. CoC worked with Big Labor and leftists to try and remove President Trump, Tom Donohue announces his departure from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

Via Axios – Board leadership at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is close to naming Thomas Donohue’s successor, and is expected to appoint Suzanne Clark as its next leader, people familiar with the matter tell Axios.

Why it matters: As CEO, Donohue, 83, built the chamber into a political powerhouse that supports pro-business policies, contributes huge sums largely to Republicans and promises to give its international and domestic members a voice in Washington.

If there was one piece of advice CTH wishes the Trump campaign had taken seriously it was our advice to enlist Catherine Englebrecht in the spring of 2020 and use the expertise of her group, “True The Vote”, to position defenses for the November election.  Alas…

TTV is a national network of patriots that Ms. Catherine Englebrecht spear-headed; this group is a risk to the leftist election schemes.  TTV knows with specific specialty just how to avoid election manipulation and fraud.  As a direct result, now that the 2020 election is past the leftist groups are targeting True The Vote.

[SUPPORT TRUE THE VOTE HERE]

A complaint has been lodged [pdf here] with the IRS to revoke the non-profit status of True The Vote.  The complaint is written by the consortium of leftists which includes the always visible Lawfare group members.

Weaponizing the IRS is a familiar tactic.  Ironically, it was Ms. Englebrecht’s targeting by the IRS that initially gained her the public spotlight as she fought back on behalf of the American voters. The IRS was forced to settle a class action lawsuit.

Catherine Englebrecht is a national heroine for her efforts despite the incredible attacks by a fully weaponized government against her family and business interests.  Look up strength, perseverance and wolverine-spirit and you should see a picture of Englebrecht under the definition…. Yes, she is that good….. and that is why she is a risk.

Here’s the complaint: [pdf here and embed below]
