Being the holiday season with Christmas behind us, we now turn to the New Year and naturally find ourselves—though perhaps not everyone—reminiscing and remembering a few of the multitude of frauds and deceptions the Left has gifted us these last few decades.

Learning from experience or the mistakes of others is a powerful defense mechanism. Make no mistake, we have enemies, both foreign and domestic. Their goal is to destroy America. The plan has not varied these last 100 years. Only now do they feel ready to make the final assault.

As Obama’s 2nd term was coming to a close, the Democrats thought they were on a roll. Obama was the first Black or semi-Black president. Hillary was to be the first woman to hold the office. Dems like firsts. I suppose we can look forward to a former gay nun on drugs.

Democrats also like mystery. Almost 20 years later, we still know very little about Obama or what anyone is willing to talk about. As Obama, anything significant about Hillary is a closed book, locked away in a vault.

Well into a new century, the Democrats thought we entered a new era, a new culture, political and social. After Obama, we learned so much. We learned that our country was sitting on stolen land and Whites, especially males, were irredeemable and racist from a political party that fought a war to preserve slavery.

Democrats introduced us to new realities, acronyms, terms, and slang that didn’t previously exist in our vocabulary…DEI, ISIS, BLM, Antifa, democratic socialism, gender reassignment, non-binary, and ‘undocumented’ immigrant. We’re forever grateful.

Hillary showed us how to acquire true email privacy, especially while being secretary of state. Having your own private server gives you complete control over your correspondence. No one, not even those with clearance, has to know what you say to anyone. A clear violation of the law, but no impediment to them. What was she hiding?

For instance, National Security Council members can read emails related to security matters. The Congressional Oversight Committee can request to read certain emails. The president has clearance to read all communications. When Hillary Clinton set up a private email server to conduct state business, there was no oversight. It was Hillary, and only Hillary, that decided who could read them. She now had control of who gets to read anything she sends on that server. And she had many emails and much to hide. When she was questioned, suddenly 33,000 emails disappeared, wiped clean, “like with a rag or something?”

But Hillary was the chosen one. Democrat candidates are selected before the primaries, which are mere formalities.

Hillary couldn’t lose. The Los Angeles Times gave her a 90%+ chance of being the first woman president in 2016. But the first woman president wasn’t to be, at least not for her. The imaginary glass ceiling remained intact. The election for the Democrats was a monumental and painful loss. Something they would not forget.

After 8 years of Obama, the nation, to their shock, was still misogynistic and xenophobic. At least that is how Hillary and the Dems saw it. After all, she was entitled. She played hardball, which came easy for her, eliminating both the competition and those around her that would not be to her benefit, putting it nicely.

Obama ordered a CIA super spy computer to be used to win Florida in 2012, a state he had to win. In 2016, the computer used the wrong algorithm. (Betrayal & Treason in America, Amazon) Clinton was in shock. They were not supposed to lose. Hillary even had a barge filled with fireworks at the ready on the Hudson River.

Trump 45 were good years. We had robust growth, tax reform, low inflation, and deregulation, which sparked economic growth. Minorities owned more private homes than ever before. Some analysts would say among his failures was his handling of COVID-19. I raise the BS flag on that. How do you handle an emergency that was secretly created by your political opposition from all over the world? Trump found himself in a situation where all his advice was given by covert enemies.

The election of 2020 was one of the most shameful episodes in American election history. They used a manufactured pandemic to change election law to their benefit; it became a disgraceful display of chaos and backroom shenanigans including the use of the CIA spy computer. No voter ID required in multiple states. They stopped the counting when it wasn’t going their way. ‘Fixed it’ and proceeded. They persecuted whistleblowers with lawfare.

We remember the Jan 6 protests when President Trump called for a peaceful demonstration, but the media chose to delete that part of Trump’s speech. We remember when Pelosi had all the appearance of directing the protest and would not call the National Guard after Trump repeatedly offered assistance. Hundreds of protesters were arrested for entering the Capitol building, even after the police let them in. Many people were kept in custody, some in solitary confinement for months. An unarmed young woman was shot and killed for no apparent reason, and the shooter was promoted.

The Democrats vigorously enforced the ‘approved narrative’ within their ranks.

In 2022, the Dems didn’t even have a primary. Colorado’s primary proved incapable of delivering a primary without controversy. Tech billionaires were more than willing to buy any election they could benefit from. The truth is slowly leaking out. Georgia recently admitted that Trump won the 2020 election in that state by a comfortable margin.

The Biden years were a structured project to destroy the greatest nation on the planet. They used the original communist plan—break the system with massive spending to create vast inflation and create reliable Democrat congressional districts across America by importing millions of illegal immigrants with no viable means of support. The taxpayer provided them with food, housing, and healthcare—better care than our veterans receive. They were distributed around the country in large groups, creating not just additional Democrat House seats but also ghettos.

Now we have hundreds of thousands, maybe millions, of unvetted military-age men from enemy countries waiting for orders.

When Seattle and New York City elected communists to their mayoral offices, and when in New York the new mayor took the oath on the Quran, it was something where everyone should be concerned. Look toward where the Twin Towers used to be.

But what many of us have learned has turned us in a different direction. Men—Black, White, and Hispanic—and younger people who were shocked to realize their parents were either nuts or inattentive.

The Left’s purpose is to destroy America as founded. Create a new low denominator of uneducated people that will fall for leftist promises and applaud anything they don’t understand. The promises they will make—government grocery stores, free buses, economic security, and dignity (they love that one)—will always be of inferior quality to what you can do for yourself. Accept free things, and you become easy to control. They will always attach a cost. And you will pay with your freedom.
