How America has changed – USA Gov Policy

Monumental changes do not always occur with fanfare and explosive action. Sometimes, they occur gradually, as a result of actions that seemed relatively inconsequential at first but developed into extraordinary alterations in the very fabric of society.

That is currently occurring in the United States. Since the 1960s, radical takeovers of the fields of education, journalism and entertainment by individuals and groups who have a profoundly different view of America than the majority, has had an undeniable impact.

At least two generations of U.S. students have been taught by educators who have an exceptionally negative view of the nation. Journalism, both traditional and online, has morphed from a profession that sought to objectively inform the public to one that preaches a left-wing party line to it. Hollywood has followed that move, as well.

The result is a nation profoundly divided and substantially divorced from accuracy in its news reporting and educational system, a society that has forgotten how it achieved unprecedented success and established the most open society in history. The left will point out the horrors of slavery and segregation, but ignores the reality that those original sins, shared with the rest of the world, have been overcome.

All this has resulted in the rise to power and influence of politicians and pundits who would alter America’s successful path to one that resembles nations that have failed politically and economically.

The intensity of this underreported change is stunning. With all the power at its command, the media has hidden truths about the dangerous path the nation is taking, and those who are making that happen, Examples:

Antifa is a facist/socialist movement, no different than the National Socialist (Nazi) movement in 1930’s Germany.

The goal of Black Lives Matter isn’t civil rights or social justice. It is the institution of authoritarian Marxism. Don’t take our word for it; read their own documents.

Two-in-one treatment of erectile dysfunction as well as fights with your partner is also some of the main reasons of erectile india cialis dysfunction. It has to be made sure that you get through the issue forever. order cheap levitra cipla cialis Headaches Headaches are most common side effects associated with Proscar is possible impotence, therefore it’s your decision.

The “Green New Deal” is less about the environment than about leftist economics. Again, don’t take our word for it. Analyze their own detailed plans. The Paris Climate accord it endorses would do little for the environment, but would wholly restructure the world economy in a manner that enriches Third World despots and impoverishes American workers.

Much of what you see on entertainment outlets is heavily influenced by Chinese money; much of what is taught on college campuses shares the same slant.

Anti-religion has become in vogue for the American Left. Keith Ellison, a follower of anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan, recently served as the vice-chair of the Democratic Party and now, shockingly, serves as the Minnesota Attorney General. In Florida, Front Page Magazine reports that an anti-Semite was named a Democratic Party National Committee person and was awarded the title of “2019 Florida Young Democrat of the Year.”.

Catholics are clearly in the cross-hairs of the left. Catholic nominees for appointed office have been harassed for their religion. The issue of left-wing, Progressive and Democrat anti-Catholicism has been growing for several decades. George Weigal, writing in Commentary noted that “… the editors of the [New York] Times thought it appropriate to warn the Catholic bishops of the United States that a too-vigorous exercise of their teaching office might destroy the ‘truce of tolerance’ that has permitted Catholics to operate in this country at the sufferance of its non-Catholic majority… Emma Green reported in The Atlantic that Michael Wear, the former director of Barack Obama’s 2012 faith-outreach efforts, found that ‘The administration was unnecessarily antagonistic toward religious conservatives…’”

Evangelicals share a common fate with Catholics.

As this publication has repeatedly noted, free speech has become increasingly endangered. The Senate Minority Leader, Charles Schumer, introduced legislation to weaken the First Amendment. College throughout the nation openly intimidate and discriminate against non-leftist students. Merely wearing a “MAGA” hat or having any known connection to the Trump Administration makes one a target of physical assaults. It’s not the assaults themselves that are the most chilling; it’s the fact that many major politicians on the Left actually condone and even encourage these brutal attacks.

The nation has been substantially altered, a fulfillment of Barack Obama’s pledge to “Fundamentally transform” America.

Quick Analysis

What does the Reversal of Harvey Weinstein’s Conviction Portend for Donald Trump?

The New York Court of Appeals has upheld the ruling by the trial judge we closed yesterday’s article with. “Defendant argues that CPL 30.10 (4) (a) has only been applied to cases involving nonresidents,” the Court of Appeals stated. However, “[n]owhere does this provision distinguish between residents and nonresidents and we cannot read into the statute a limitation not adopted by the legislature…If the legislature intended this tolling provision to apply only to nonresidents or that courts should factor residency into a tolling analysis, it would have said so expressly.” (Citation omitted.) Further, “the statute [does not] contain any requirement that the tolling period apply once authorities know that a crime has been committed and, as with defendant’s proposed exclusion for New York residents, we reject defendant’s invitation to rewrite the statute to provide such limitation.” Thus, it is irrelevant whether Donald Trump was a resident of New York or not, nor does it matter whether or not the New York County District Attorney had any intention to charge the former President with a crime at the time the offense allegedly occurred. The time he spent outside New York stops the Statute of Limitations from running out. But what if Donald Trump (like Weinstein) had been in and out of New York during the time period in question? According to the Court of Appeals, “‘all periods of a day or more’ during a defendant’s absence from the state ‘should be totaled and toll the Statute of Limitations’…Logically, then, even a day’s absence counts.” (Citation omitted.) Thus, as we warned in May of last year, the prosecution of Donald Trump is not time-barred, based upon the extended time periods he spent outside of New York, serving his country as President of the United States. This issue, while significant, is only one ruling which could impact the Trump case. During the trial, we have witnessed several rulings which affect the former President’s ability to defend himself. For instance, in their opening statement to the jury, Prosecutors stated “This case is about a criminal conspiracy and a cover-up…[t]he defendant, Donald Trump, orchestrated a criminal scheme to corrupt the 2016 election, then covered it up.” In fact, according to The Hill, “[a]lthough Trump faces charges of falsifying business records, prosecutors will tell jurors a story that ranges from sex to politics to accounting, attempting to convince them that Trump criminally covered up a hush money deal to influence the 2016 presidential election. The district attorney’s first oration to the jury echoed two of Trump’s other criminal cases, which revolve around his alleged attempts to subvert the 2020 presidential election results after losing to President Biden. “It was election fraud – pure and simple,” [the prosecutor] said in his opening remarks.” Donald Trump is charged with falsifying his business records to disguise a “hush money” payment made to a woman who alleged he had an affair with her. That charge has been elevated to a felony based upon an intent to hide an underlying crime. The crime has never been adequately specified, but it appears to involve the violation of federal elections laws that enumerate the appropriate expenditure of campaign contributions. Now the Manhattan DA’s office is changing their theory by claiming the underlying crime is outright federal election fraud – an uncharged crime. Further, “[i]f Donald Trump takes the stand, prosecutors will be allowed to grill him under oath about several adverse rulings in his past civil cases, Justice Juan Merchan ruled…Prosecutors will be allowed to elicit testimony about Trump being found liable for fraudulently inflating his business assets in a suit brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James. They will also be allowed to question him about defamatory statements he made about writer E. Jean Carroll. In a civil case last year, a federal jury determined that Trump sexually abused Carroll in a department store in the 1990s, and in two civil cases, Trump was found liable for defaming Carroll. Merchan also ruled that, if Trump testifies, prosecutors can ask him about fines he received for violating a gag order in the business fraud case when he verbally attacked the law clerk of the judge overseeing that case.” Even Politico had to concede that this was “a significant loss for the former president that will complicate his self-declared plan to testify in his own defense.” This ruling is much more than a “loss” that complicates Trump’s ability to testify in his own defense. In fact, if Judge Merchan maintains this position, and also lets stand the prosecutor’s attempts to use proof that Trump allegedly “subverted” the 2020 Presidential election, under the Court of Appeals’ ruling in the Weinstein case, permitting these prejudicial matters into evidence is most certainly reversible error. “Every person accused of a crime is constitutionally presumed innocent and entitled to a fair trial and the opportunity to present a defense, the Court of Appeals states in People v. Weinstein. “Under our system of justice, the accused has a right to be held to account only for the crime charged and, thus, allegations of prior bad acts may not be admitted against them for the sole purpose of establishing their propensity for criminality… It is our solemn duty to diligently guard these rights regardless of the crime charged, the reputation of the accused, or the pressure to convict.” In Harvey Weinstein’s case, “the trial court erroneously admitted testimony of uncharged, alleged prior sexual acts against persons other than the complainants of the underlying crimes because that testimony served no material non-propensity purpose. The court compounded that error when it ruled that defendant, who had no criminal history, could be cross examined about those allegations as well as numerous allegations of misconduct that portrayed defendant in a highly prejudicial light. The synergistic effect of these errors was not harmless. The only evidence against defendant was the complainants’ testimony, and the result of the court’s rulings, on the one hand, was to bolster their credibility and diminish defendant’s character before the jury. On the other hand, […]
