Elon Musk Gives Heartbreaking Account of How He Was Tricked Into Consenting to His Son’s Puberty Blockers (VIDEO)

Elon Musk has given a heartbreaking explanation of how he was tricked into supporting his son Xavier’s determination to “transition” into a woman and how it has shaped his political views.

Speaking with The Daily Wire’s Jordan Peterson, Musk explained that he signed the consent papers for his son’s puberty blockers without fully realizing the consequences of what he was doing.

Here is a transcript of the exchange:

MUSK: It happened to one of my older boys, where I was essentially tricked into signing documents for one of my older boys, Xavier. This was before I really had any understanding of what was going on. We had COVID going on and so there was a lot of confusion. You know I was told Xavier might commit suicide.

PETERSON: That was a lie right from the outset. No reliable clinician ever believed that. There was never any evidence for that. And if there was a higher suicide rate, it was because of the underlying depression and anxiety because of the gender dysphoria. And every God damn clinician knows that too. And they are too cowardly to come out and say it.

When I saw that lie start to propagate it just made the back of my hair stand up. So you’re telling parents that unless they agree to this radical transformation that their children are going to die and you think that is moral and you think that is true. That is so pathological that it is almost incomprehensible. I can’t imagine a therapist doing anything worse than that.

MUSK: It’s incredibly evil. And I completely agree that people promoting this should go to prison.

PETERSON: It won’t stop till that happens. It will just go underground. Puberty blockers are being accessed by kids all the time through non medical channels.

MUSK: So I was tricked into doing this. It wasn’t explained to me how puberty blockers are actually sterilization drugs. I lost my son essentially. They call it deadnaming for a reason. The reason it is called deadnaming is because your son dead. My son Xavier is dead. Killed by the woke mind virus.

PETERSON: I’m sorry to hear that. I can’t believe what that must be like.

Having undergone his transition, Musk’s son Xavier is now legally known as Vivian Jenna Wilson and has become estranged from his father.  His mother is Musk’s ex-wife Justin Wilson, although further details about his private life remain scarce.

Musk, meanwhile, recently endorsed Donald Trump’s presidential campaign and has become a major donor to conservative causes. He is also the owner of the X platform, formerly Twitter, ending the censorship regime implemented under the company’s previous leadership team.

WHOA! Joe Biden *Allegedly* Calls in to His Former Campaign HQ Before Kamala Speaks – Sounds Like Hell, Slurs… Did He Have a Stroke? (AUDIO)

Joe Biden on Monday *allegedly* called in to his former campaign headquarters before Kamala Harris delivered remarks.

It sounds like a pre-recorded audio of Biden reassuring campaign staffers that he’s still alive and kicking.

Why didn’t Joe Biden appear on video? We haven’t seen Biden since last Wednesday evening. On Sunday Biden announced on X that he is dropping out of the 2024 race and this is supposed to be proof of life?

Biden sounded like absolute hell. Did he have a stroke?

“I know yesterday’s news is surprising and it’s hard for you to hear but it was the right thing to do. I know it’s hard because you poured your heart and soul into me to help us win this thing to help me get this nomination – help me win the nomination and then go on to win the presidency,” Biden supposedly said.

“I think we made the right decision,” he added.

“If I didn’t have Covid I’d be sitting there with you – standing there with you. I’m so proud of what you’ve all done,” Biden said to cheers.

Biden did not interact with the cheering crowd. The recording continued right through the cheers.

“I’m gonna be on the road and I’m not going anywhere. It’s kept me away a little bit…” Biden said.

“By the way, I’m not going anywhere! I’m gonna be out there on the campaign with her, with Kamala. I’m gonna be working like hell – both as a president getting legislation passed as well as campaigning,” Biden said.

Biden then called Trump “a danger to the community.”

Kamala Harris told Joe Biden she loves him and Nurse Jill.

“I love you, Joe!” Kamala Harris said.

Joe Biden’s brother, Frank Biden, told CBS News that Biden’s declining health played a considerable role in his decision to drop out.

Frank Biden suggested Joe Biden is terminal.

“I’m incredibly proud of my brother. Selfishly I will have him back to enjoy whatever time we have left,” Frank Biden told CBS News.

The Biden family threw Frank Biden under the bus after he said the quiet part out loud.

“Frank Biden suffers from alcoholism and hasn’t spoken to his brother in weeks. What he said…is completely untrue,” a source ‘close to the Biden family’ (probably Nurse Jill) told CBS News.

Was Frank Biden telling the truth about Biden?

REPORT: Top Democrats Threatened to Invoke the 25th Amendment to Forcibly Remove Biden from Office Unless He Quit Race – Have Alternative Candidate to Kamala Harris

During his damage-control interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos Friday, President Joe Biden brushed off his June 27 debate debacle as “a bad night.” (ABC News / Video screen shot)

Top Democrats’ desperation to force Joe Biden out of the race reportedly went deeper than previously known, and Kamala Harris may not have a smooth coronation after all.

As the Gateway Pundit reported, Biden dropped out of the Presidential race Sunday afternoon and later endorsed Harris as his replacement. Now, more details are emerging regarding the party coup to overthrow the will of Democrat primary voters in a desperate attempt to reset the presidential race.

The New York Post reveals the Democrats’ plan to remove Biden from office began with ‘tricking’ him into debating President Trump, knowing he would fall apart. The hope was Old Joe would see the writing on the wall and step aside.

But Biden kept fighting with the full support of his family even as the calls to leave grew louder by the day. Angry and desperate, Democrats then threatened to pursue another avenue to not only force him out but remove him from office altogether: invoking the 25th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

As TGP readers know, the 25th Amendment allows members of the president’s cabinet, including the vice president, to declare the president incapacitated and unable to carry out his duties. No serious American believes Biden can perform his job (assuming he is still alive).

The New York Post reported:

The well-orchestrated “palace coup” to stop the faltering president seeking re-election has been in place for weeks, but stubborn Biden fought against it every step of the way, a source close to the Biden family told The Post Monday.

Part of the “elaborate” strategy to remove Biden from the race – as he announced in a shock letter posted on X Sunday – was allowing him to debate Republican candidate Donald Trump last month on live TV in Atlanta.

‘That debate was a set-up to convince Democrats that he couldn’t run for president,’ the family source said Monday.

As calls for him to bow out mounted, Biden insisted he would continue, but party bigwigs threatened to invoke the 25th Amendment to the US Constitution.

The Post adds that Democrat delegates in the coming weeks will be pushed to back a Democrat other than Harris at the DNC Convention: Arizona senator and former astronaut Mark Kelly. Senator Kelly is married to former Democrat Rep. Gabby Giffords, who was shot in the head and nearly assassinated in January 2011 outside a Safeway grocery store in Casas Adobes, Arizona.

Although Biden immediately endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic candidate for president, the source said Democratic delegates will be strongly encouraged to instead back Arizona senator and former astronaut Mark Kelly for president at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago in August.

Despite many Democrats trying to create a sense of inevitability with Harris, a glaring number of them still have not endorsed her. Notable names include are Barack Obama, his wife Michelle, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.

While Senator Kelly is perceived as a more “moderate” and “electable” candidate compared to Harris, he is actually one of America’s foremost gun control activists. Moreover, he has supported abolishing the Senate filibuster to help implement a far-left policy wishlist, including weakening election integrity laws.

Kelly won a special election in November 2020 to fill out the term of the late John McCain, defeating Republican Martha McSally. Two years later, he defeated Blake Masters and won a full six-year term.

Given how tumultuous and historic the last ten days in America have been, one should expect more insane twists in the coming days.

Well this wasn’t supposed to happen!

Joe Biden aborted his presidential campaign on Sunday. Later in the day, Democrat elites anointed Kamala Harris as the new puppet candidate.

This was effectively a successful coup of the Biden campaign.  And, the American public has seen no signs of Joe Biden since the Twitter X announcement was posted on Sunday.

Following the news, Miss Word Salad, Kamala Harris traveled to Wilmington, Delaware to check out her new campaign headquarters.  The Democrat elites already scrubbed the place of any mention of Old Joe Biden.

Is Biden even alive?

Joe Biden officially dropped out of the 2024 presidential race on Sunday.

Biden made the announcement on X like a coward. He has been hiding out at his Rehoboth Beach house for four days.

Fox News hosts Bret Baier and Dana Perino asked for proof of life.

Joe Biden’s brother, Frank Biden, told CBS News that Biden’s declining health played a considerable role in his decision to drop out.

Dr. O’Connor released an update to Biden’s health and claimed his oxygen levels are normal.

“President Biden completed his tenth dose of PAXLOVID this morning. His symptoms have almost resolved completely. His pulse, blood pressure, respiratory rate and temperature remain absolutely normal. His oxygen saturation continues to be excellent on room air. His lungs remain clear,” Dr. O’Connor wrote.

“The President continues to perform all of his presidential duties,” O’Connor added.

Questions Congress Side-Stepped About Trump Assassination Attempt at Hearing Today

The Gateway Pundit has been documenting the wide variety of federal lies and inconsistencies since the July 13th shooting at the Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

On Monday morning, Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle appeared before the House Committee on Oversight and it did not go well.

Several Members of Congress even went out of their way to explain to Cheatle how poorly it was going for her. Democrat Cong. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) even compared her, in his questions, to having the same type of hearing as Claudine Gay, the plagiarist anti-Semite former President of Harvard who testified before Congress in December before losing her job a month later.

“I don’t know who prepared you for this, I don’t know how many times you’ve testified in front of Congress, but a President was almost assassinated on live television for the nation not just for Americans but for the world to see,” said Cong. Moskowitz. Multiple Democrats, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), asked Cheatle to resign.

Rep. Michael Turner (R-OH) said to Director Cheatle, “You look incompetent. If he’d [Trump] died, you’d look culpable. President Biden needs to fire you.”

Democrats made side journeys into gun control politics, and Republicans went into side quests to bring up Diversity, Equity and Inclusion policies, more commonly known as “DEI” policies being blamed for hiring under-qualified agents. But these are distractions from the abundance of information that is emerging from the Butler Rally shooting.

Thomas Matthew Crooks, the alleged assassin of former President Donald Trump. (@NYDailyNews / X)

We have compiled some of the ongoing unanswered and challenging questions about the Butler Rally shooting that weren’t addressed or asked at the Congressional hearing today.

Why didn’t the agents in the second floor of the AGR Building stop Crooks? Who were those agents?
If they lacked a clear shot, why didn’t the agents in the second floor of the AGR Building simply jump out of the window and walk over to Crooks?
Why does cell phone GPS data indicate that someone was in contact with Crooks who was also active at the same gun range, who is also active near the FBI Building in Washington, as well as in Plymouth, Massachusetts? Could this be an additional Crooks accomplice?
Why don’t the pictures of the crime scene where the dead body of the sniper is on the roof of the building match the known after-effects of gunshot wounds to the head?
Since the perpetrator is dead, there is no reason to not release facts and information about the case. The motive for keeping the investigation’s facts secret is not rational.
Since there is some possibility that Secret Service and FBI Agents were involved with this assassination attempt, shouldn’t an independent commission or independent prosecutor be appointed to investigate this matter?
Where was Crooks’ car found, what was inside of it, and what kind of alleged explosives were present? Was it a car or a van?
The FBI is clearly leaking facts to friendly media outlets. Why is this permitted while at the same time the investigation won’t release basic information such as how many spent shell casings were collected from the roof, and what type of gun was allegedly used?
Why is it so difficult to determine how Crooks got onto the roof of the AGR Building? Why has the federal story changed from 10 foot ladders, to 5.5 foot ladders, to ladders on Craftsmen sheds, to ladders on air conditioning units, to just leaping from an air conditioner unit? The ever-evolving story of how Crooks got on the roof makes no sense.
This pattern of denying security requests is not limited to just President Trump, as Presidential candidate Robert Kennedy Jr. has also been refused multiple requests for Secret Service protection. Why is Kennedy denied a security detail when he has multiple credible security threats?
Cheatle said that bringing a rangefinder is not a ‘prohibited item’ to a Trump Rally and this is clearly a lie. At the Butler Rally, the security was confiscating empty money clips.
This crazy idea that Crooks is a sleeper agent for Iran is coming from where? Multiple encrypted overseas accounts means what, exactly? Would someone with three encrypted email accounts have the same international profile as Crooks?
What photographic, audio, and other types of evidence has been collected so far at the crime scene and when will it be presented to the American public?
Did the alleged shooter train at the same gun range as members of the Department of Homeland Security?
Is it true that the rooftop sniper was confronted by members of Butler County Sheriff’s Office immediately prior to the shooting starting?
Is the AGR Building, Complex, and Company owned by known political enemies of President Trump?
Why was the security at the rally left more lax than at any other Trump rally, where those in “expedited entry” were entering at a much slower pace than those in “General Admission?”
Multiple news stories claimed that law enforcement used Crooks’ DNA to identify him initially. Is that not the case, since Cheatle claimed that the identification work was done by the serial number on the AR-style weapon.
Why are there still questions about the autopsy of the shooter? Will the government perform its own independent autopsy?
Why doesn’t the autopsy attempt to explain the burn ring around the back of the neck of the shooter in photographs?

British Liberal Journalist Piers Morgan Speaks With Trump on the Phone, Says He Is ‘The Mick Jagger of Politics’, Has ‘Unstoppable Momentum’ To Be the Next US President

British Liberal journalist Piers Morgan often gets stuff wrong.

He is capable of defending the safety and efficacy of COVID shots and blaming the ‘anti-vax movement’ for getting sick with the virus after being fully vaccinated and boosted.

Or to insist that the 2020 US Presidential elections were ‘free and fair,’ to the point of making Donald Trump walk out on an interview with him.

But Morgan is also someone who knows Trump well, and has had a personal relation with him for decades.

Interestingly, he isn’t too proud to admit that the Republican candidate has always been good to him – Morgan was the winner of the ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ TV show.

Now, in the aftermath of the assassination attempt on Trump’s life, Morgan – who is many times right in his non-stop opining on international geopolitical affairs – has been vocal about his admiration for Trump’s reaction to the incident, and his rapid recovery to headline a historical RNC in Milwaukee.

Piers Morgan wrote at New York Post that Trump called him late on Saturday, saying: “Is that my man Piers? It’s your favorite president calling…”

“But Trump is the one [president] I’ve known the longest, and best. He’d seen me appear on Fox News in New York to discuss his first rally appearance since last weekend’s horrific assassination attempt.

I’d said how much I admired his defiance and guts in the immediate aftermath of the shooting, and the fact he was back on stage at another rally just seven days later, putting on a crowd-pleasing, two-hour performance worthy of a rock star. ‘He’s the Mick Jagger of politics!’ I declared.”

Liberal Morgan knows Trump personally and thinks he will win in 2024.

The British commentator said Trump now has a vote-winning smash hit to his playlist: ‘I took a bullet for democracy!’

And he believes that will propel him back to the White House in the November election.

On the phone, Trump reportedly said that he felt great, ‘considering [he] got shot last week!’

“’Were you not apprehensive about going back out […] in front of tens of thousands of people?’ [Morgan] asked.

‘I couldn’t let myself think about that’, [Trump] replied. ‘I had to get straight back out there’.”

Morgan call Trump’s response to being shot ‘remarkably courageous’.

Morgan also said in the phone call that the debate was a ‘predictable train wreck’ for Biden, and that Trump is now the favorite despite who is on the Dem ticket.

“During our 15-minute conversation, I’ve never known Donald Trump to sound so calm, happy, focused or with what seems like a profound new awareness of what really matters in life.

[…] I do know him very well, warts and all, and what’s very clear from our phone call is that cheating death has given Donald Trump a new spring in his step, and a presidential race momentum that I believe will now prove unstoppable given the way his opponents are imploding.”

Secret Service Director Testifies Before House Oversight Committee

“The assassination attempt of former President Trump on July 13 is the most significant operational failure of the Secret Service in decades” Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle told the House Oversight Committee in her opening statements on Monday during a hearing on the assassination attempt on the former President Donald Trump. 

“The Secret Service’s solemn mission is to protect our nation’s leaders. On July 13, we failed,” said Cheatle.

In the hearing, Cheatle took significant criticism for the inadequacies of the Secret Service protection on July 13, and for her decision not to resign. “I don’t understand how you can continue to stay in the position you’re in, when this was a failure of historic magnitude. 43 years without anything like this happening and you failed, in this case, in a spectacular way.” Rep. Gary Palmer (R-AL) told Cheatle. 

Issues such as potential partisanship in the FBI also played a role in the hearing. “We need to have confidence that if the FBI is leading this investigation, that they’re leading a credible investigation, because there’s some of us sitting up here today that don’t have a lot of confidence in the FBI,” Rep. James Comer (R-KY), the committee chairman, told Cheatle. 

The question of a potential second shooter was also raised by Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ). “Was Mr. Crooks acting alone?” he asked. “Was he just a lone gunman?” Cheatle referred Rep. Biggs to the FBI’s investigation.

Republicans weren’t alone in posing hard questions to Cheatle. “How can a 20 year old with his father’s AR-15 assault weapon climb onto a roof with a direct 150 yard line of sight to the speaker’s podium without the Secret Service or local police stopping him?” Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), the ranking Democratic committee member, asked.

“So again, sir, I will say we are nine days out from this event, and I would like to know those answers again, which is why we are going through these investigations to determine that fully,” she replied.

Even some stalwart progressives took a critical bent towards Cheatle. “Stuart Knight was in charge of the Secret Service [when Reagan was shot]. Do you know what he did afterwards?” Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) asked Cheatle, to which Cheatle responded “he remained on duty.” Khanna reminded Cheatle, “He resigned.” 

“If you have an assassination attempt on a President, former President, or a candidate, you need to resign,” Khanna said later.

— The American Conservative (@amconmag) July 22, 2024

House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan (R-OH) took an even more confrontational tack. “So which is it, were you guessing or lying when you said you didn’t turn down requests from President Trump’s detail?” Jordan asked, contrasting earlier statements from the Secret Service claiming that the Trump campaign had not requested more security to a Washington Post report that the Secret Service had turned down requests from the Trump team for greater security. 

“What a change from absolutely false, unequivocally false, to ‘oh, by the way, there were some times where we didn’t give them what they wanted,” Jordan said.

Cheatle also told the Committee that the Secret Service’s internal investigation seeks to complete in around 60 days. This deadline was described as inadequate by lawmakers on both sides of the aisle. 

Legislators from both sides of the aisle also called for Cheatle to resign, including both Comer and Raskin. “This committee is not known for its bipartisanship, but I think today we came together unanimously in our disappointment for your lack of answers,” Comer told Cheatle at the end of the hearing. “As ranking member Raskin stated, he and I will be sending a letter requesting that you submit your resignation” Comer elaborated later, expressing bipartisan support for Cheatle’s resignation.

INGRASSIA: Kamala Harris Helped Defraud The Republican Party And America By Covering Up Joe Biden’s Senility And Health Woes

Kamala Harris has been an active participant in a conspiracy to cover up Joe Biden’s health maladies for years, which came to a head on Sunday with a shocking resignation letter that was posted on X (formerly known as Twitter), where Biden declared that he would not seek re-election.  The letter all but vindicates criticisms that anyone with eyes to see have been making about Biden’s health effectively since the day he took office.

Despite the White House’s adamant insistence to the contrary, Biden is clearly unfit to serve in his office.  That fact became obvious to the non-conservative world (at least, that is what they pretended) in the aftermath of his disastrous debate performance in late June, which showcased a broken-down president stuttering and stammering over words, and frequently drifting off into incoherence.  The public appearances he has made since that day has done nothing to reassure voters that the Oval Office incumbent is “a very bold and vibrant president,” as Kamala Harris, Biden’s would-be successor, declared on Good Morning America just a few short months ago.

Of course, Harris was engaging in egregious doublespeak – if the descriptors “bold” and “vibrant” ever applied to Biden, they have not applied to him in years.  This has been readily apparent to the world for a long time now, despite the White House’s strident efforts to keep Biden out of public view as much as possible.  Harris, who presumably has more exposure to Biden than the public does, obviously knew about his health, and the seriousness of his condition, better than virtually anyone else.  That she has so baldly lied to the public despite that knowledge indicates gross negligence, in the best case scenario. Or, worse (but more probable), being a co-conspirator in the coverup.

Indeed, the odds of the vice president simply being “negligent” are close to zero – she would have to be a special class of braindead, far worse than her boss, to believably profess ignorance about Biden’s mental incompetence.  While Kamala may be many things, she, like the rest of us, clearly knows about Biden’s health – and knew for a long time that he was incapable of serving out his duties.  On just that basis, she should be disqualified from running for president.

As it stands, the release of the letter was highly unorthodox.  It was reported that several White House aides learned about its release with the rest of the world when it was posted, without warning, on Biden’s official X account Sunday afternoon.  Even if those reports prove incorrect, the way Biden’s resignation occurred raises troubling questions about the prospect of a presidential coup playing out in real time.

Typically, presidents who prematurely resign from their posts (e.g., Nixon) or announce they will not be seeking reelection (e.g., LBJ) do so with a formal press conference on live television.  They do not ordinarily post letters unannounced on social media, issuing no accompanying statements or video announcements, remaining out of sight for days on end.  Many close observers raised important questions about the letter that demand a response: did Biden write it?  Who authorized it?  Why was it not written on official White House letterhead, which is standard procedure for official pronouncements?

Indeed, many in the public are right to believe – if Biden remains out of public view – whether the president is even still alive.  It was reported that he had been recovering from COVID in recent days; but other reports circulated that his health was far worse than what the White House originally reported, some going so far as to say he might be on his deathbed, or already deceased.  While that may appear farfetched: consider this, the White House – including Jill Biden, Karine Jean-Pierre, and indeed, Kamala Harris – have been reassuring the public in the three weeks since Biden’s debate debacle that he was spry, mentally sharp, and would not be dropping out of the race.

Biden’s schedule for the week.

None of that proved true.  Biden has dropped out of the presidential election, and party leaders — like Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton — have already begun coronating Kamala Harris as his successor.  If they are willing to lie about something as grave as Biden’s health, naturally they would also be willing to lie about a coup, to say nothing about whether he is alive or dead.

As all of this was playing out, Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, who recently announced her own resignation, was being grilled by members of Congress about her role in the near-assassination of President Donald Trump a little over a week before.  It is almost indisputable that Biden’s resignation necessarily followed from the near-hit on the President’s life; it is extremely plausible Biden would not have dropped out had the unthinkable happened in Butler, Pennsylvania.  As we learn more about the “negligence” of what occurred on that near-tragic day, under whose pretext Cheatle resigned, it looks increasingly like there was something far more nefarious afoot.  But so far we have not gotten answers as to the obvious and ridiculous failures involving Secret Service on that day, including why the rooftop, which was only 130 meters away from the stage, was not secured; and why security officials were seemingly dragging their feet to react to attendees informing them about a shooter on the rooftop well over a minute before shots were fired, as documented in eyewitness video.

All told, the ridiculous lapses in judgment of both Cheatle and Harris suggest an administration that is terminally incompetent and corrupt beyond imagination. Otherwise, they must be participants in a criminal conspiracy.  There is no third option.

Even on the “mere” negligence count, Harris’ failure to invoke the 25th Amendment herself months ago offers more than plausible grounds for a criminal cover up.  As it stands, the RNC and Trump campaign has raised and expended hundreds of millions of dollars thus far already this election cycle under the assumption that Biden would be their opponent.

This assumption was backed by countless reassurances by Biden and his senior White House staff that he was “in good shape, in good health, and … ready to lead in our second term,” as Harris insisted.  Harris has made such outrageous claims like “[a]ge is more than a chronological fact … Not only is [Biden] absolutely authoritative in rooms around the globe, but in the Oval Office.”  Back in March, when asked about whether Biden would need to step down, she also said: “I’m ready, if necessary, but it’s not gonna be necessary.”

That she had the audacity to lie, and do it so brazenly is not simply a bad reflection of her character, or gross incompetence: it is plainly demonstrative of her role in a conspiracy to defraud the American people.  Her lies should be taken extremely seriously because they place hundreds of millions of Americans, and billions of people all around the world, at grave risk.  She is basically licensing our adversaries, including China, Iran, and North Korea, to take advantage of America’s incapacitated commander-in-chief and go to war or make a territorial grab.

Furthermore she is enabling millions of illegal aliens, many of whom are criminal felons and subversive agents, to infiltrate the homeland and accelerate America’s deterioration. She is also putting on notice billions more around the world to invade our country and potentially commit acts of domestic terrorism. In short, she poses an existential national security danger and is an active participant, enabler, and some may even say mastermind, given the political incentives, of the conspiracy to defraud the Republican Party of over a billion dollars, and much more insidiously, the American people their security to satisfy her power-hungry desires.

This is the textbook definition of despotism.  Over sixty percent of Americans see right through it and condemn the Kamala coup as the undemocratic power grab it is: the ancient saying “absolute power corrupts absolutely” has reared its sad and ugly head in the United States.  The political chaos of the past month is the manifestation of a corrupted regime entering its twilight, on the road to certain oblivion short of a radical course correction.  The incredibly high stakes of this year’s election have only gotten higher in light of the past forty eight hours; let us pray, for the sake of the republic, it is not already too late to salvage it from near-ruin.
