ENEMIES OF THE (DEEP) STATE: A LIST🧵

If the American Left has a hit list—and they do—their Top 5 Most Wanted would be (in no particular order):

• Trump. This one is obvious. Ann Coulter said Democrats don’t fear Trump. I like Ann. But in this she is spectacularly wrong…. Image
2/

Unrelenting media attacks and the weaponizing of the Department of Justice against him screams otherwise. I mean, I had barely left Mar-a-Lago last spring when the FBI decided to send their storm troopers in on a (literal) panty raid. (Yup, Melania’s. Because we all know… Image
3/

…that’s where you hide nuke codes.)

• Ron DeSantis. Younger than Trump, charismatic, beautiful family, media savvy, politically astute, and a true conservative, he’s the heir apparent.

Where Trump is a force of personality, DeSantis combines that quality with a moral… Image
4/

…force that is kryptonite to a depraved Leftist agenda.

• Elon Musk. Musk isn’t a conservative in the traditional American sense. But these aren’t traditional American times, and a loose coalition of ideological factions is forming against the Radical Left; a coalition… Image
5/

…that didn’t think America so broken that it needed this kind of fixing. This makes for strange bedfellows. A decade ago, for instance, notorious atheist Richard Dawkins focused his attacks on evangelicals. But these days he finds—as I have teased him—that he has more in… Image
6/

…common with them than, say, Ilhan Omar. (Richard isn’t an American, but you get my point.)

As a man who made his fortune in America and perhaps because he’s an immigrant to it, Musk recognizes the greatness of his adopted country. Although he voted for Obama, HRC, and… Image
7/

…Biden, Musk has broken with Democrats over two issues he holds dear:

• free speech

• child abuse

And let’s be clear, adolescent sex-change surgeries and drag shows are child abuse, and these perversions are as central to the modern Democrat Party as slavery once was… Image
8/

…and abortion still is.

Musk isn’t merely a conscientious objector to their policy. Not at all. Ironically, it is Musk, the one non-conservative here, who poses the greatest immediate threat to Democrats’ radical agenda.

Why?

Because in buying Twitter and… Image
9/

…restoring free speech to that platform, a platform central to the Left’s social and political strategy, Musk has taken the whip out of their hand. That makes him highly dangerous to them.

• Clarence Thomas. Thomas is not the only conservative on the SCOTUS. But for… Image
10/

…Democrats, he is the new Scalia and the personification of all that stands in their way. Thomas is a serious conservative intellectual, principled, and courageous.

Enraging them most of all is the fact that Thomas is a black man who not only rejects the victim narrative… Image
11/

…Democrats would impose on all black people, but he embodies the American success story.

• Tucker Carlson. The last man on our list is, as media figures go, Enemy No. 1. Like the others here, the Left pours out an obscene amount energy and ink on him in the hope… Image
12/

…of destroying his credibility. Failing that, the NSA hacked his phone while media and law enforcement looked the other way as Antifa appeared at his home and threatened his family. This is what #DefundThePolice was meant to do.

People forget that it was CNN that gave… Image
13/

…Carlson his start in TV. From there he moved to MSNBC where he hosted his own show. In contrast to how they portray him now, they didn’t think him a fascist then.

In his early TV days, I found Carlson—who then wore a bow tie as part of a cultivated image—too frat boy… Image
14/

…for my tastes. But he dumped the bow tie and has matured like a fine wine.

Carlson is smart, incisive, and passionate about the issues. His love of country comes through. He can mix with powerbrokers and appeal to the average American. Indeed, one gets the sense he’d…
15/

…rather be talking about something else, but this is not just a job for him, it is his calling.

If you think Carlson is some sort of right wing nut, you aren’t listening to him but are instead listening to what others say about him. There’s a difference.

It is… Image
16/

…understandable that the Left is obsessed with Carlson. He’s rational, reasonable, and persuasive. He convinces his viewers with a battering ram of common sense buttressed by facts. And nothing makes the Radical Left want to destroy you so much as factually exposing… Image
17/

…their agenda & corruption.

Carlson is highly skilled at doing this, and he does it with a persona that says he’s a regular guy with whom you could talk sports as you flip burgers in the backyard.

There’s a simple test for determining the Left’s Most Hated: Upon whom do… Image
18/

…they concentrate their attacks?

If you take a stand against them, they’ll invent crimes, dig up a woman to accuse you, say you’re a Russian agent—do anything to sideline you. These men need our prayer.

THE END

A Christmas I’ll Never Forget:🧵

I was 21. A truck driver during the day and a student at night, I was asked to teach Sunday school at a little rural Alabama church that met only twice a month.

You see, the membership was old and few in number. Many thought the church…Image
2.

…should be closed. But these ornery old people liked their church and didn’t care what anyone else thought they should or shouldn’t do.

One of the members had heard me speak and asked if I would be their pastor.

Pastor?

I didn’t know anything about that, but I agreed… Image
3.

…to come every other week to teach Sunday school for a couple of months until they could find someone else. Amused by my youth and energy, they had no intentions of replacing me and two months stretched into two years.

On Christmas Eve of 1988, I did something I had… Image

THE APPEAL OF TRASH HISTORY🧵

Carlson’s interview with a revisionist historian rightly caused a firestorm.

The responses to my earlier🧵provide some additional insight to the controversy.

Let’s look at what is going on here….
2.

Let’s consider Cooper’s historical methodology.

I watched the interview multiple times. Watch it. Cooper likes making sweeping, authoritative, controversial pronouncements with Trump-like self-assurance. Unless you’re a specialist, and Carlson isn’t, you might shrink from…
3.

…challenging him.

To wit:

• “Churchill was the chief villain of the Second World War.” (45:34ff)

• Holocaust caused by a logistical mistake and a desire to be “humane.” (46:40ff)

• Hitler wanted peace/Churchill wanted war (48:43ff)

• Churchill was “a psychopath.” Image

Would you like a feel-good story about The Rolling Stones?🧵

Well, I’m here for you.

Whenever I’m in London, I use Black Cabs, the best taxi drivers in the world.

The old timers have great stories, and I always ask: “Who’s the most famous person you’ve ever had in your taxi?”
2.

Over the years I’ve heard stories about Laurence Olivier, Charleton Heston, Tony Blair, Judy Dench, Alice Cooper, Mick Jagger, Richard Harris, and many others.

But this is my favorite story.

A taxi driver tells me he picked up an old guy on London’s West End one evening…
3.

…outside of a pub. He doesn’t look in his rear view mirror very carefully, but nonetheless offers a bit of friendly chat chat to his passenger as he might do with anyone:

How are you?

Where to, sir?

Eventually he asks: “So, what do you do for a living?”

The passenger…

READY FOR A CREEPY STORY? 🧵

This is me filming in front of the US embassy in Mexico City last week.

These are all people trying to get into the US via the CBP One App—a program funded by you.

They didn’t want me filming. You’ll hear a Mexican security guard stop me and…
2/

…demand I delete the video.

I had been assured by Mexican lawyers that I could film anything so long as I did not enter the US embassy. As you can see, I did not enter.

The US uses a Mexican security firm outside the embassy and they had clearly been instructed to stop… Image

…me. He spoke a mix of Spanish and English. I refused to give him my phone and, being much bigger than him, I did not let him detain me even though he tried.

He threatens to call the police. I kept walking while my translator distracted him.

About a half hour later…

TIM WALTZ & CHINA:🧵

As a guy who travels A LOT, I’m having a hard time with the fact that Tim Waltz has been in China 30+ times. It smells.

Let me explain to you how this works practically…. Image
2.

China isn’t Canada. Meaning, there’s a visa process for Americans. It’s not visa-upon-arrival as in some Latin American countries. You must apply for entry. It takes time.

Communist states are historically suspicious of Americans, and for good reason. We seldom share…
3.

…their values. In the age of Google, which prioritizes negative results for conservatives, communist states make liberal use of the Leftist search engine.

For example, I slipped into Cuba a couple of years ago with a cigar tour group. The police came to our hotel to… Image

MATT WALSH & AMBER ROSE:🧵

Yesterday @MattWalshBlog got dragged across Twitter concrete for his take on the #RNC platforming #AmberRose.

Judging from the responses, his critics didn’t read what he said, but instead read highly emotional takes on his tweet.

Let’s take a look: Image
2/18

After the tweet above, social media keyboard warriors sprang to Rose’s defense as if Walsh were her verbal assassin perched atop a sloped Twitter roof.

Catturd led the way.

Walsh was an “egomaniac,” he said, who had set himself up as “judge and jury.” Image
3/18

Heidi here unholstered her Twitter prose like a tiny secret service agent in Butler, PA, saying Rose had already done more for the cause than Walsh.

(NOTE: This is a weak argument I often see Christians employ against other Christians: “He’s done more for the Kingdom… Image
