After his arraignment in a Miami federal court Tuesday, Donald Trump did a very Trumpian thing — he immediately left the courthouse and went out to meet the American people.

He stopped at a famous Cuban cafe, the Versailles Restaurant, and a celebration broke out. People there sang “Happy Birthday” to Trump, whose birthday was appropriately yesterday — Flag Day — and he bought lunch for the whole restaurant.

Maybe Gov. Ron DeSantis, who is well-liked in Florida, could get that kind of a reception, but I doubt any other presidential candidate would.

Tuesday night, Trump spoke at his estate in Bedminster, New Jersey, and warned about the damaging direction this hyper-politicized prosecution was taking our country. Trump said:

“We have a nation in serious decline. If the communists get away with this, it won’t stop with me. They will not hesitate to ramp up their persecution of Christians, pro-life activists, parents attending school board meetings, and even future Republican candidates…

"We must end it permanently, and we must end it immediately… The seal is broken by what they’ve done. They should have never done this.”

You don’t have to like Donald Trump to appreciate the gravity of this unprecedented political persecution. As we have repeatedly noted, the intolerant neo-Marxist left, which despises free speech and religious liberty, is increasingly criminalizing normal values and punishing faith.

But if this is the road they are determined to travel, there will be repercussions and reprisals. As Sen. Marco Rubio put it:

“You think this ends here? The next Republican president is going to be under tremendous pressure to bring charges and indict Joe Biden, his family, his crackhead son, whoever. The pressure is going to be extraordinary.”

Riley’s Warning

Former NCAA champion swimmer Riley Gaines is once again making waves — not in the swimming pool, but in the public arena. She’s speaking out against the left’s transgender insanity, and she’s doing a much better job of warning the country about what we’re up against than most of our so-called “political leaders.”

This is a young woman who has suffered the real-life negative impacts of the left’s gender denialism. She has faced physical violence from intolerant leftist mobs. And she’s not backing down!

In a recent interview with Breitbart News, Gaines decried the extremism of today’s left and where it is dragging us. I want to share these excerpts of her remarks because she brilliantly describes the battle we’re in. Gaines said:

“We’re in this time where this denying of objective truth — the changing of the language that we use — the silencing and the submission of voices, and there’s a lot of other pieces to this, including the breakdown of faith, the breakdown of family, the breakdown of freedoms, it really points to Marxism.

"And that’s what the left is ultimately going for. They want to blur the lines of gender, they want to make us say two plus two is five. You can open any history book and see how Marxism turns out for any civilization. It’s not pretty.

"Yet… that’s the way the leaders of this country are taking us, step by step, in this downward spiral.”

That’s a perfect answer to idiots like Paul Ryan and others who refuse to defend our values. Anyone who thinks we can lose the culture war and America will be just fine, as long we have the right marginal tax rate and trade policies, just doesn’t get it.

A Godless America ruled by extremists who can’t say what a woman is won’t be anything to celebrate!

Trans Backlash Bites Biden

As we noted in yesterday’s report, there is a growing backlash against the left’s gender denialism. There’s also a lot of anger over the prideful exhibitionism that was on display at the Biden White House this weekend.

“Rose Montoya” was one of the transgender social media influencers who took shirtless selfies on the White House lawn. “Rose” is a man who pretends to be a woman. He had to get breast implants to further deny the reality that he is a man. He chose to remove the top of his outfit and exposed his fake breasts to children and everyone else who happened to be there.

As a result of this outrageous behavior, the White House banned Montoya from attending future gatherings. But Rose is unrepentant. He said being topless in Washington, D.C., isn’t illegal.

In a social media post, Montoya declared, “I was simply living in joy, living my truth, and existing in my body. Happy pride, free the nipple.”

Mr. Montoya is clearly denying the truth. He’s not living in his body, but mutilating his body. And he should keep his nipples to himself! But I digress…

Consider this: Joe Biden banned this freak from the White House at the same time he is calling parents “hysterical,” “prejudiced” and “ugly” because they don’t want people like Rose Montoya reading to their children.

Biden thinks Montoya is too embarrassing for the White House, but just right for your local elementary school or public library.

“Trantifa” & Target

Target stores in several states, including New York, New Hampshire and Vermont, have reported receiving bomb threats in recent days. Consider these headlines from the Washington Post and ABC News:

“Target Stores See More Bomb Threats Over Pride Merchandise”

“Experts Warn Against Canceling Pride Campaigns After Extremists Threaten Target”

While both headlines are technically correct, the left-wing bias of the “mainstream” media leaves readers with the impression that “right-wing extremists” are the ones threatening to bomb Target stores.

But if you read deep into the stories, which most people don’t do, you’ll learn that it’s not conservatives who are threatening Target, but left-wing extremists furious that Target “betrayed the LGBTQ+ community” by removing certain Pride-themed items and displays.

Yet another example of the left insisting that all of society must bow to its radical demands.

We have warned for years that the radical left is increasingly intolerant and increasingly violent. It is the left that equates speech with violence and uses violence to silence speech.

Now investigators are warning of a new threat to society — “Trantifa” or violent transgender activists like the individual who murdered six innocent people at a Christian school in Nashville. Don’t hold your breath waiting for Biden’s FBI to investigate these “trans supremacists.”

Sadly, the biased media controls the narrative. And because of the left’s disgusting double standards, they attempted to turn the Nashville shooter into a martyr while labeling moms as “extremists” and blaming us for the violence!

Joe Biden’s America has all the hallmarks of a truly sick society. It denies reality. It condemns what is good. It celebrates perversion and child sacrifice.

Left-wing Lunacy

Here are two reminders of what happens when Democrats have total control of every lever of power.

In Illinois, the far-left governor just signed legislation to defund libraries that remove explicit and inappropriate books from the children’s section. Some call this law a “ban on book bans.”

In reality, it is forcing taxpayers to subsidize the radical LGBTQ mafia and the indoctrination of their children. It is tyranny, and a perfect example of what happens when you lose elections to the intolerant left. It’s also a good example of why so many people are leaving Illinois.

Not to be outdone, the “tyrants of tolerance” in California are moving to criminalize parents, charging them with child abuse if they don’t affirm a child’s gender delusions.

Politicians who go down this road are playing with fire. Even on the loony Left Coast, this nonsense is deeply unpopular.

Happy Flag Day

Yesterday was Flag Day. Just so we’re clear, the flag in question is not the gay pride flag or the BLM flag. Yesterday marked the 246th anniversary of the adoption of the Stars and Stripes as the official flag of the United States by the Second Continental Congress.

Prior to that, the colonists flew many different flags representing their individual states.

Every nation has a unifying flag as its symbol to bring their people together. Sadly, the woke left has turned our flag into another divisive issue in its culture war against America. The left never misses an opportunity to divide us.

Several years ago, Americans watched in horror as communist sympathizer Colin Kaepernick knelt throughout the national anthem. Eventually, entire teams were disrespecting the flag, our national anthem, our veterans and our country.

Today, I hope you will proudly fly Old Glory. We should celebrate patriotism, not “pride,” which is a sin. We should celebrate the country that has done more to promote freedom and liberty than any other nation in the world.
