RUTHFULLY YOURS

Trump Derangement Syndrome is going around again, and this week, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries showed he’s caught a bad case. On MSNBC, Jeffries went on a tirade threatening legal investigations — not against criminals, not against foreign agents, but against private Americans who dared to donate to President Trump’s White House ballroom project, accusing them — without evidence — of corruption and warning of investigations to come.

“More likely this is part of what Donald Trump has been doing since day one of his presidency,” Jeffries claimed, “running the largest pay-to-play scheme in the history of the country and probably soliciting, uh, donations from people who’ve got business, uh, before the United States government.”

Jeffries went on to promise that the matter “will” be investigated, insisting, “All of this will have to be uncovered. It will. And these people are gonna be held accountable, uh, no matter how long it takes.”

He closed with a thinly veiled threat aimed at Trump’s supporters and donors: “That’s gonna be the reality of the situation, and that’s our warning to all of these people participating, uh, in this scheming to manipulate taxpayer dollars and, of course, to destroy the people’s house. The White House, uh, belongs to the American people. It doesn’t belong to Donald Trump.”

Of all the things that Democrats have tried to tar President Donald Trump with, none is as petty, stupid and inconsequential as the current flap over remodeling the East Wing of the White House. But since Dems shut down the government, they have nothing else to do these days – apart from inciting their far-left followers to commit violence.

These are dangerous times in the world, both abroad and here in the U.S.

And yet, here’s California’s too-slick Gov. Gavin Newsom’s comment: “He’s literally destroying the White House.“

No, he’s “literally” not “destroying” the White House. He’s remodeling it. As anyone who has added a room or built a patio will tell you.

Nor, per Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut, is it “absolutely illegal” for Trump to build a ballroom on the little-used East Wing

Don’t believe it? See the image below. To call this “destroying the White House” or any such inanity isn’t even adjacent to the truth.

The left’s double standard is increasingly evident these days, and no matter how often it gets remarked upon, the notice and ridicule never stops leftists from indulging in it. For years, leftists energetically pursued lawfare against Donald Trump and his supporters, trashing statutes of limitations, creating special rules ex post facto, stretching misdemeanors into felonies, and fabricating evidence outright in an all-out effort to destroy him politically and personally, but when Trump strikes back with entirely lawful and justified investigations and prosecutions of some of the lower level perpetrators of these crimes, he is a fascist dictator in the making, weaponizing the justice system against his political opponents.

This is not dissimilar from the left’s taste for hateful rhetoric and even increasingly open incitement to violence, contrasted with its outrage and indignation over even the mildest dissenting voice, which supposedly makes leftists, particularly on college and university campuses, feel as if they are in danger, or at least claim to do so. PJ Media Managing Editor Chris Queen reported that at Davidson College in North Carolina, students have recently “faced harassment and threats from Davidson for expressing the truth that there are only two genders and one cannot change one’s biology.” Leftist students also freely distributed on campus a pamphlet entitled ““International Intifada: An urgent call to participate in the colonizer’s execution.”

However, when two patriotic Davidson students dared to try to distribute my pamphlet “The Five Myths About Israel Perpetrated by the Pro-Hamas Left,” Davidson officials stopped them, saying that the presence of my pamphlet on campus made them feel “unsafe.” Sure it did. Leftists proffer this flaming hypocrisy without blinking an eye, and doesn’t budge an inch when any patriot dares to take notice.

This eye-popping lack of self-awareness goes back, like so much of contemporary leftist practice, to the founder of Soviet Russia, V. I. Lenin himself. When the Bolsheviks took power in Russia, Lenin instituted a reign of terror, as far-left regimes always do, in order to terrorize the populace into submission. When critics accused him of engaging in wanton murder and leaving behind all standards of morality, Lenin readily agreed, explaining that when his minions murdered people, it was good and right, because they were the forces of justice:

So-called King, Donald Trump, ran in two contested Republican primaries.

He ran three times in a general election.

He was elected twice, and his party recently won a Republican Congress.

In contrast, in 2020, Joe Biden did not run a typical campaign.

He avoided the public, staying ensconced in his basement. He outsourced his campaign to Democratic politicos, donors, and a sycophantic media.

No red state ever sought to remove Joe Biden or Kamala Harris from their 2024 ballots. In contrast, twenty-five blue states attempted to take Trump off their ballots.

In 2021, Joe Biden’s DOJ and FBI raided then-former-President Trump’s home. They found only 102 classified documents among some 14,000 seized, but nevertheless indicted him.

There was no such SWAT raid on Biden’s multiple repositories of illegally removed classified documents.

All were in less secure places than at Mar-a-Lago. Biden removed them over the course of three decades with impunity. At the time, unlike Trump, he had no presidential prerogatives to declassify them.

Special counsel Robert Hur found Biden culpable for the removal of these files but declined to prosecute, claiming that he was too enfeebled to stand trial.

In 2024, the same backroom donors and politicos who had conspired to ensure Biden was the 2020 nominee now, against his wishes, in coup-like fashion, removed him from his own reelection ticket.

Within 48 hours and without a delegate vote, they crowned Kamala Harris as the presumed nominee. Queen Harris had not received a single delegate vote in her disastrous 2020 primary run.

Donald Trump, in 2020, did not sic his Department of Justice on his rival, Joe Biden.

Nor during his presidency did his Department of Justice indict any past or future political opponent or ex-president.

In contrast, Kingly Joe Biden’s White House helped coordinate 91 indictments of his past and future presidential rival, ex-president Donald Trump.

A mere three days after Trump announced his reelection bid on November 15, 2022, Jack Smith was coincidentally appointed special prosecutor of Trump.

What is terrorism? The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition defines terrorism for us.

terrorism /tĕr′ə-rĭz″əm/

noun

1. The use of violence or the threat of violence, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political goals.

2. The act of terrorizing, or state of being terrorized; a mode of government by terror or intimidation.

3. The practise of coercing governments to accede to political demands by committing violence on civilian targets; any similar use of violence to achieve goals.

4. The deliberate commission of an act of violence to create an emotional response through the suffering of the victims in the furtherance of a political or social agenda.

5. Violence against civilians to achieve military or political objectives.

6. A psychological strategy of war for gaining political or religious ends by deliberately creating a climate of fear among the population of a state.

7. The calculated use of violence (or the threat of violence) against civilians in order to attain goals that are political or religious or ideological in nature; this is done through intimidation or coercion or instilling fear.

Words matter. The distinguishing feature of terrorism is that it targets civilian populations. The history of warfare was forever changed by the acceptance of civilians as military targets in the Middle East. Islam is not a religion like any other. Islam is a theocracy. It is a supremacist, expansionist, binary, sociopolitical replacement ideology with a religious foundation. Islam distinguishes itself in its founding 7th-century doctrinal text, the Qur’an, as the only “religion” on the planet that advances genocide against non-believers––Jews, Christians, and Zoroastrians. For 1400 years Muslims have been taught that there will only be peace on Earth when all the world is Muslim, that means after the establishment of a global Islamic caliphate.

When I arrived in Minneapolis, the frost had just lifted, and gray clouds hung low over the horizon. I had come to make a pilgrimage to George Floyd Square, where the revolution of 2020 began. It has been more than five years since Floyd lost his life and became a patron saint of the Left, and I wanted to see what had happened here since then.

The square is situated in a run-down intersection that now features a statue of a clenched black fist in the central roundabout. On one corner stands a minimarket called Unity Foods—formerly Cup Foods—where George Floyd passed the counterfeit bill that set off the chain of events that culminated in his death. Across the street is an abandoned gas station that has been covered in graffiti and protest slogans since the initial unrest.

A group of vagrants had lit a bonfire in a metal drum beneath the gas station canopy. When I asked them about Floyd, they avoided the question; they weren’t interested in politics. They had chosen the spot to light fires, fence stolen goods, and smoke fentanyl, because it was peaceful and nobody bothered them.

In the frenzied year of 2020, politicians in Minneapolis and the Minnesota state government made grand promises about what George Floyd Square would become. They purchased property and pledged monuments. Then, as the years passed, their political will evaporated and everything ground to a halt. One city official told me the neighborhood wanted to reopen for business, while political leaders wanted to preserve the square as an ideological symbol. The result: nobody got what he wanted.

The scars of the revolution remain. The intersection at 38th Street and Chicago Avenue now has an eerie feeling, as if the George Floyd moment were frozen in time. A shattered window at Unity Foods has remained unrepaired for five years. The graffiti on the bus-stop shelters has started to chip and peel. The slogans scrawled on the gas station walls are fading reminders of the naive ebullience of that early moment.

As I walked around, I spotted two smartly dressed white women who appeared to be visiting the square as one might a religious shrine. Striking up a conversation, I learned that one was a Minneapolis resident; the other, her sister, was visiting from New York City. They wanted to pay their respects to Floyd. They seemed to be trying not to show fear at the visible homelessness and disorder.

When I asked the women about Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey, the local woman said, “No comment.” She instead shifted the conversation to President Trump, who, she said, was “clawing back all of the progress” that had been made toward social justice.
