Breaking news, CNN: We are a republic, not a democracy | Blaze Media

We need to explain this to people. You need to understand that democracy is a very important part of our republic, but democracy alone is not what we are. We are a democratic republic. We vote for the people to represent us.

The Founders were careful to take human nature into account. Human nature is naturally swayed by feelings and emotion. That’s why the Constitution is written to restrain the government so those in power can't make every decision for you by exploiting the masses’ emotions — like they’re trying to.

Soooo, the rest of our allies/customers???-----US will redirect air defense inceptor missiles to Ukraine that other allies had on order

Kirby said the U.S. had taken the “difficult but necessary decision to reprioritize near-term planned deliveries of foreign military sales to other countries,” though he wouldn't say which nations would be affected or how many.
  • Everything we have is going to go to Ukraine until their needs are met,” Biden said. “And then we will make good on the commitments we made to other countries.”
  • The number of interceptors to be sent isn't clear but Kirby said it could involve “hundreds” of Patriot interceptor missiles.
  • Kirby said the move means “a range of countries” will face delays in receiving missile systems that are being diverted to Ukraine but that the shift would not affect Taiwan or what it “continues to need and receive for self-defense" in the face of potential threats from China...

Arizona Schools Are Bearing the Cost of Biden's Border Crisis

Arizona Schools Are Bearing the Cost of Biden's Border Crisis

The exponential rise in illegal immigration has drastically altered the education policy landscape for local communities in Arizona, especially concerning school enrollments and associated costs and challenges. Unfortunately, state taxpayers are being forced to pay for the financial consequences of Biden’s refusal to uphold the fundamental rule of law and safeguard America’s borders. Education is a state, not a federal, issue. It’s time for Arizona — and all states — to take back control of their education policy and costs.

And the committee also ignored House rules requiring committees provide equal time for majority and minority members asking questions. His statement explained, the committee "spent hours rehearsing ahead of time so they could put on Stalinist show-[trials] for the American people. Bottom line: The committee was used as a political weapon with a singular focus on taking down Trump and his advisors through the intentional manipulation of facts and the silencing of the minority party. It was procedurally flawed from the start."

Victor Davis Hanson - Anatomy of a Full Leftwing Meltdown

The media is afire with warnings of the impending Trump “dictatorship”.
  • Celebrities, the Squad, and Biden administration grandees vie to conjure up the most nightmarish things that Trump might do to them. 
  • What drives their current mounting hysteria? 
1) The Left feels it may be heading to an historic 1972 McGovern-like or 1980 Carteresque blowout...
2) It knows that a first-term novice Trump had a successful four years, and that he now is savvier four years later—and far more likely and able to overturn the entire four-year Biden catastrophe and thus enjoy an even more successful second term. 
3) It fears that all it did to destroy democracy—the Russian collusion hoax, the Russian disinformation laptop farce, the two first-term impeachments the moment the Republicans lost the House, the Senate trial of ex-President Trump as a private citizen, the effort to remove Trump from state ballots, and the five criminal and civil show trials designed to bankrupt the leading presidential candidate and keep him off the campaign trail—might boomerang on the Left...

Biden's DOJ Went After a Doctor for Exposing Trans 'Care' for Children. Here's How He Responded.

A Texas doctor being targeted by the Biden administration for exposing a child sex change program at a hospital spoke out about the ordeal on Wednesday in multiple interviews. - Madeline Leesman 
  • To recap, Townhall covered how Dr. Eithan Haim came forward to City Journal and revealed that Texas Children’s Hospital lied about terminating experimental, irreversible transgender services for kids. These services were offered to kids as young as age 11 and included puberty blockers, hormone treatments, and sex reassignment surgeries.
  • In June 2023, Haim was scheduled to graduate from Texas Children’s residency program. That’s when federal agents appeared at his front door and informed him that they had identified him as the leaker in the City Journal story about transgender medicine for kids at the hospital.
  • Haim now faces four felony counts of violating HIPAA. He could face up to a decade in prison.

Time for Consequences - by Glenn Harlan Reynolds

The "Cabal" who bragged about rigging the 2020 election stuck us with an incapable president at a time of crisis. Examples need to be made.

  • Bring America respect abroad. 
  • Calm down our “chaotic” domestic political scene. 
  •  And make government respectable again.

 Well, let’s review some headlines from this weekend’s New York Times, normally a reliable booster of Democratic presidents, good, bad, or indifferent.
