Think Gas Shortages Are Bad? Buckle Up: Epoch Times Commentary

If the gas shortages plaguing the Southeast left you high and dry last week, then buckle up. This is just a taste of our future under President Joe Biden’s energy policies. …If Biden succeeds, we can kiss energy independence goodbye. In 2019, the United States finally achieved the mission that founded the U.S. Department of Energy in the 1960s—freedom from dependence on foreign oil—when we became a net energy exporter. Just over 100 days into the Biden administration, our claim to that title is already fading.

Why Cheney Was OUSTED From GOP Leadership: Ben Shapiro Show

Shapiro makes a case that the media focus on Liz Cheney is media misdirection because they do not want to report on the Middle-East crisis; inflation or the sluggish economy, suggesting that those topics would all make Biden look bad…. He also talks about some of the things this administration is doing while it fails to do what it ought to be doing. [Another major example of media misdirection added at the end of the post by me]

American Communism Has Found Its Brezhnev in Biden: Epoch Times Commentary

Practically everything from public safety to education (!) to foreign policy to the border to the military has gone haywire in months with worse undoubtedly to come. … But it has reached such a level in today’s America that speculation about who is really in charge is endless—Barack Obama, Susan Rice, Valerie Jarrett, several people inside the administration like chief of staff Ron Klain, Kamala Harris, Jill Biden, Nancy Pelosi, AOC and her entourage, even Michelle Obama. …what we are seeing in action… is nascent American Communism throughout our federal government, not to mention many of our more populous blue states. …That Antifa and Black Lives Matter—both self-admittedly Marxist organizations wreaking havoc on our city streets—are never criticized by our current administration and are left to do what they do is just one example of the spread of this burgeoning communism.

Opinion: The American Oligarchy Is Being Exposed: Epoch Times Commentary

…One of the biggest impacts Trump has had on the country both as president and as a private citizen has been awakening millions of Americans to the very real danger of a media and political elite class that has been subverting Constitutional and legal processes in the states to increase their own power and control. This is especially true of America’s election systems. For the past six months, more Americans than ever have been made aware of the existence of this powerful network of incredibly rich and privileged people that we could call an “oligarchy,” as James O’Keefe does in his recent music video. …In this column, I’m going to cover three specific attempts by this oligarchy to control the national dialogue both preceding, during, and then following the 2020 election.

The Facebook Oligarchs’ Betrayal of America: Epoch Times Commentary by Newt Gingrich

Every American should take note of this decision. If the Facebook oligarchs can silence someone who served as President of the United States and received nearly 75 million votes, then they can silence anyone. …But to understand the depth of the hypocrisy and anti-Americanism of the Facebook elites, it is more revealing to look at who they are not removing from the platform. Let’s start with the Chinese Communist totalitarian dictatorship. Xinhua News Agency—a state-run propaganda outlet—has 90.2 million followers on Facebook. The People’s Daily and the Global Times, which are Chinese Communist Party propaganda outlets, have 86.5 million and 62.9 million followers, respectively. The state-run television network, China Central Television, and its international arm, China Global Television Network, have 49.8 and 116.8 million followers. All of these organizations have been designated by the U.S. State Department as foreign missions.

How ‘Woke’ May Be Leading Us to Civil War: Epoch Times Commentary

An iron-fisted, ideologically extreme minority has our country under its thumb—play along or face excommunication. This is stronger than anything in our history and almost identical to what we see and have seen in totalitarian countries. …Most of what used to be called the common men (or women) in the street roll their eyes at “woke”—including even some silent, but browbeaten, Democrats—and do their best to move on, although many realize that “woke” and its sister “social justice” are in essence euphemisms for an ideology far more totalitarian than any ever in control of this country, communism.
