    Meet the new House Democratic leader, same as the old House Democratic leader!

    It appears that U.S. Congressman and House Democrat leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) is continuing his party's time-honored tradition of blatantly lying to the American public about his Republican colleagues' intentions.

    "Extreme MAGA Republicans don't want the children of America to learn about the Holocaust," Jeffries said during a hearing on the Parents Bill of Rights Act. The GOP-introduced legislation is intended "to ensure the rights of parents are honored and protected in the Nation's public schools."

    Rather than debate the bill on merit, Jeffries opted to imply that conservatives who want to protect parents' right to be the primary educator of their children are somehow the bad guys.

    The bill, it should be noted, would ensure that parents have access to federally-funded public schools' curricula so that they can know exactly what is being taught. It would also require those schools to obtain parental consent before changing a student's pronouns, allowing them to use the bathroom opposite of their sex, and engaging in other radical gender ideologies.

    In reaction to the congressman's remark, former White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany tweeted, "This is an outrageous lie!"

    Indeed, Jeffries would be hard-pressed to find any elected federal official who supports banning lessons on the Holocaust. As Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) put it, "I don't know ANYONE who 'doesn't want the children of America to learn about the Holocaust.' Not one."

    Lee pointed out that Jeffries' comments are worse than the typical falsehoods uttered in politics.

    "Broadly smearing Republicans as racists and Holocaust deniers isn't just a dishonest way to score cheap political points," Lee added. "It cynically numbs some ears to genuine accusations of racism & sometimes might even be used to justify acts of violence against those you defame."

    Indeed, this unfortunately has been par for the course for the Democrats. Lord knows that Jeffries' predecessor, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), has used this tactic repeatedly.

    Thankfully, the parental rights bill passed in the House by a vote of 213-208 Friday morning. We'll see what lies Democrats come up with next as the legislation works its way to the U.S. Senate.

Considering what has happened to our Representative Republic since the corruptive orthodoxy that led to the tolerated abomination - The Russia Hoax - where felonies were perpetrated upon the American People by the creation of the Two Tiered Justice System, in the misnomer of "Social Justice:" Where do you stand on sustaining our constitutionally guaranteed freedoms in a society where injustice is chronically sanctioned by one political orthodoxy?

  I believe in a perfected society by employing a higher governmental authority to train the behavior of the public.

  The United States Constitution does not allow just a few freedoms, it guarantees ALL freedoms promised to Humankind by God.

  Just don't take away my Social Media.
