My civil rights are not your civil rights?
Trump nominated Hameet Dhillon to head the civil rights division of the Justice Department. She is the fourth Indian-American nominated by Trump. Do you think JD Vance has anything to do with this? Biden’s Department of “Justice” has gone after right to lifers, pushed an LBGTQ agenda and DEI. Remember when DOJ sent a SWAT team to raid the home of a Catholic father who had protested at an abortion clinic? Biden’s “Justice” Department has targeted other pro-lifers while ignoring attacks on Catholic churches and pro-life pregnancy centers. The department has aggressively embraced LGBTQ and is suing states that have enacted laws passed by states on underage puberty blockers and trans surgeries. Consider that the case before the Supreme Court is US vs Skrmetti where the lawyers for the “Justice” Department are challenging Tennessee’s law regarding puberty blockers for children with the solicitor general arguing the case for the government. Mind you, the majority of Americans are opposed to minors being transitioned. Why doesn’t the left say that the actions of the “Justice” department is a threat to democracy?
A Trump Justice Department would be supporting, not opposing, Tennessee’s (and 26 other states’ laws). Hameet Dhillon is a civil rights lawyer who has argued for the civil rights of those targeted by Biden’s administration. She has been a steadfast voice in opposing the abuse of citizens by Biden’s Department of “Justice” and is a brilliant pick. To illustrate what a good choice she is, just look at the left losing its mind. MSNBC calls her a “far right, conspiratorial lawyer” who “would make a mockery of the concept of civil rights.” MSNBC then says this “leaves little doubt about (Trump’s) intent to use the department to undermine democracy during his second term.” Again, who has been undermining democracy over the past four years?
Dhillon has sued the government for shutting down churches during Covid while leaving open large retail stores. She said “One of the most egregious violations of our First Amendment freedoms was the treatment of religious Americans as second-class citizens, as vectors of disease. From the very beginning of the pandemic, governors across the country discriminately labeled houses of worship, and by extension the First Amendment, as ‘non-essential,’ while at the same time leaving their secular counterparts open for business. In my state, California, marijuana, liquor, and big-box retailers were deemed essential, but God was banned.” She has also sued on behalf of “detransitioners” – trans people who want to regain their original gender identity. Does all this indicate a person who is a threat to our civil rights? Not in my book. Bravo Trump.
Some other thoughts
I can’t wait for the current bunch of clowns in the White House to be evicted. They tried to deny the existence of the Chinese spy balloon and then let it float over the country before finally shooting it down. Now we have the drones over New Jersey. The White House says it knows nothing and is doing nothing. They say that no laws are being broken so they are going to let them continue to fly. Want to bet that Trump will have a different reaction? I wonder why New Jersey just doesn’t take matters into its own hands and have its air national guard shoot one of them down?
Biden pardoned his son – after saying over and over again that he would not. Did you ever believe him? I thought he would wait until the last minute. Now he is pardoning 1,500 persons on home confinement. I guess their families needed a break. The question is whether Biden will issue preemptive pardons for some who he had target Trump and Trump’s supporters. As I have previously said, if Trump went after his enemies, he would not have time to do anything else. Some have mentioned that Trump would go after Anthony Fauci. Why? Putting Fauci’s nemesis, Jay Bhattacharya as head of NIH is the ultimate revenge. BTW, since Bhattacharya will now be controlling the $48 billion in grants, I bet that the research funded reaches different conclusions than they did under Fauci. So goes academic integrity.
