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….
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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.
When I was in Cairo earlier this year and all hell broke loose with Egyptian State Security outside of USAID, here’s the secret part I could say little about at that time:
I wasn’t in Egypt for USAID.
I was there to meet with…
2/
…Nigerian Christians who have suffered at the hands of Boko Haram and the Fulani Herdsmen Militia, both Islamic terrorist groups.
You see, I was in Nigeria some years ago to report on the terror for Fox News. The plan was simple: I would fly into Abuja without…
3/
…bodyguards — I have a philosophy about the ineffectiveness of bodyguards in these situations — where I would be swiftly picked up, hidden in an automobile, and driven 6 hours to the north on roads where terrorist attacks are common. The idea, like visiting a cartel…
I just did an interview with @candace_phx of Blaze Media who believe that China’s Ministry of State Security [MSS], an ultra-secretive, massive espionage agency, was responsible for my “swatting” & those of:
In an explosive bit of investigative journalism, Blaze Media’s…
3/20
…@SteveBakerUSA and Joseph M. Hanneman reveal that the MSS used numerous “SIM farms” to direct attacks against critical US infrastructure and political opposition within the United States.
“China’s Ministry of State Security employs more than 800,000 people, nearly…
I’m working through a number of Putin biographies in prep for an “Ideas Have Consequences” series. (You can subscribe via the link in my bio.)
The problem for anyone venturing to understand him is the deliberate deception on both sides: on the part…
2/
…of Putin who has skillfully mixed fact with fiction to lead would-be investigators astray, and biographers whose otherwise sound judgments have been affected by the considerable gravitational force of our current political climate.
What emerges are wildly divergent…
3/
…portrayals of a man the West would do well to understand.
But understanding Putin is not easy in a world where his critics present him as insane or a modern Stalin hellbent on resurrecting the Soviet Union (he is neither), and his supporters venerate him as a savior…
