Our country is under attack from radical leftists. Mobs rampage through
our streets, monuments are being destroyed, and the very law and order
that ensures our communities’ peace and security is being undermined.

In far too many instances, those bent on destruction have hijacked
protests, creating violence and division and ultimately attacking the very
foundation of our nation. For them, it’s not about resolving race issues;
it’s about using racial discontent to forward their anarchist agenda.

One such group is Antifa. While it is widely recognized as a far-left
fringe group, another organization — just as radical — has managed to
drape itself in more mainstream clothes, gaining significant support with
the public, politicians and the business community. While Americans of
every color agree with the sentiment that black lives matter, Black Lives
Matter (BLM) the organization actually advocates an agenda that is
completely out of step with American values.

ADVERSITY, OPPRESSION

One look at the BLM organization’s website shows that the idea of
protecting black lives and seeking justice is merely a vehicle to advance
a different, radical set of ideas. The organization is more dedicated to
gaining political power and remaking America according to Marxist
ideology. Two of the group’s three co-founders are even “trained
Marxists,” according to one of them.

And it shows. The group’s platform includes planks unrelated to improving
black lives, like trying to get the U.S. to divest from Israel, which it
calls an “apartheid state” while accusing Jews of committing genocide
against Palestinians.

The organization also has called for dismantling the family, saying, “We
disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure.” The breakdown of
the black family and the rise of single-parent households is one of the
root causes of poverty, crime, drug abuse and poor educational achievement
in many black communities. Why would anyone who’s supposedly working for
black progress want to tear down the very thing that helps to achieve it?

Just as disturbing is the fact that some of America’s biggest corporations
are giving hundreds of thousands and even millions of dollars to this
organization and others whose misleading names conceal a more expansive
and dangerous agenda.

Groups like Antifa and the BLM organization want to impose an ideology on
America that would only bring greater poverty, a loss of freedom,
destruction to churches and civil society, and violent law enforcement
tactics to enforce compliance — exactly what we’ve seen in places like
Venezuela, Cuba and North Korea.

In fact, we’ve already seen a vision of what their America would look
like.

We’ve seen videos of leftist protesters physically and verbally attacking
police officers.

We’ve seen an entire neighborhood turned into a violent "autonomous zone”
with spineless politicians telling the police to stand down and let
anarchists rule over innocent residents.

We’ve seen violent mobs defacing and toppling statues of historical
figures such as soldiers and abolitionists. Some are even calling for the
removal of images of Jesus in which he is perceived as “too white.”

We must stop the violence and destruction and bring those committing
criminal acts to justice while protecting the rights of good people to
protest peacefully.

We must support our police officers who risk their lives every day to
protect us no matter our color, religion, sex or nationality — while also
making needed reforms to weed out bad cops and end unacceptable policing
procedures.

Conservatives have always had the policies that can help solve many of the
difficult issues that Americans face.

Calls to defund the police are calls for chaos, and calls to disarm them
are lunacy. We’ve seen what happens in Seattle, Minneapolis and other
cities when criminals are allowed free rein.

Finally, we must combat the Marxist agenda. This agenda has wrought
destruction on nations for generations. It expands government control and
takes every opportunity to limit freedom — and it must not take root in
the United States.

The most desperate communities in America have been run by the left for a
generation or more. We’ve seen what that leadership has brought:
generational poverty, fatherless families, worse educational outcomes,
more disparity and higher crime rates. Lurching even further left would be
even more disastrous.

Instead, we must implement policies to ensure America’s promise of liberty
and opportunity is a promise for all Americans. Conservatives have always
had the policies that can help solve many of the difficult issues that
Americans face. We know how to create jobs, end poverty, provide better
access to health care, improve education and strengthen families better
than anyone. And our fundamental belief in the inherent dignity of every
human being can help bring about the healing our nation so desperately
needs.

America is a land of promise, and conservative policies can make those
promises ring true for all Americans. It is time for conservatives to take
a message of hope to every American to end the racial strife and build an
America where freedom, opportunity, prosperity and civil society flourish
for all.

No collusion - Special Counsel Robert Swan Mueller III, March 2019.

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump
truck.

Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
queer liberal democrat donors.

President Trump has boosted the economy, reduced illegal immigration,
appointed dozens of judges and created jobs.
